An inferior picture of a superior and very monumental monument to the 1813 Battle of Leipzig, near Leipzig. This very large battle was the beginning of the end for Napoleon. Hitler was fond of the monument, as was the successor regime. Recently and lovingly restored by the current regime. The superior picture at 8Mb or so was rejected by Blogger. I am grateful to Mr. Simon Winder for drawing the monument to my attention.
