<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 77763, member: 54"]I thought the shield thing could have been a Nazi-era addition to an existing statue, but who knows. The way the shield thing sits a bit awkwardly in front of the lion's dark-colored base and not on it made me think of an add-on. But I looked for a good while and could not find this lion on a bridge in Germany, with or without his shield. When the allies came into Germany in 1945 they tended to be quite liberal in the use of demolition explosives on things with Nazi symbols.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
