[@AlexNijv]

why does lego not make any military kits?

[@Zman82]

The Germans did not burn books because they hated books. That makes no sense. But great job on the build.

[@AlexS0700]

many damaged buildings were demolished and replaced after the war in most German cities, so what you see on google maps may not be the same building that stood there during the war. Some buildings received new facades. They tried to repair the buildings where they could, also due to costs and to retain the city's pre-war identity. Not all could be saved

[@kangarooo2529]

Tiger 2 destroyed by shermans?

[@greatportlandstreetmodelra6513]

Same here

[@moongtttttttttt]

is it in the uk?

[@tomkroebel4936]

Who also noticed the historical error at 10:44 ? The flag at the building is the one of later Federal Republic of Germany and not the one of the German Reich in 1944.

[@armh4620]

A reminder that we are more builders than historians. We are bound to get a few things wrong, so we appreciate the corrections every now and then. Thank you!

[@angusm.2665]

@@armh4620 It was also the Flag of the Weimarer Repuplik, so with a bit of a squint you MIGHT get away it. If for example you say there was someone who wanted to show his loyalty to the old democratic system... BTW I grew up in Aachen and though there are none of the distinct Landmarks, you caught the architecture pretty good, well done guys!

[@timstech3103]

Very nice moc And it’s so funny hearing him saying “Aachen” cause I am living in Aachen he’s pronouncing it so wrong haha

The flag being used on the building is wrong. It was not used at that time. Also, any flag would have been the swastika instead of the national flag

Amazing build but shame no other armies are representative and there is so many sponsors kinda ruins it IMO

[@Colonial_Cardzz-]

I mean it’s based off of a historical battle between Germans and Americans so they couldn’t have added any more

[@kennethcox9760]

Ole Kirk Christiansen is rolling in his grave rn

[@Daisy_human]

The building is realy good but the historical acuracy is far less so the soldures shown here on the german side are weirmacket and they were not involed in book burnings they were involved in mass murder and parts of the holocast but not book burning while thousands of books were burnt by the SS and brown shirts they never burnt books they didnt have at least one copy of and by this point any books that would be in a public library in germany in this case Aachen there would be no books that weren't veted and or censerd on public display whats more is the burning of books seen as valuable or of cultral importance to the reich which if they were on public display they would of have to have been would have been considerd unaceptable also this being a library under nazi rule mien kamph would have been present on the shelves the berning of which would probably get you shot

[@notracefromraytraceinhisface]

I agree and pls fix your spelling, i had a hard time guessing some words. (Wehrmacht, Mein Kampf and some english words)

The figs are SS.
