Too late 2m (6ft) bronze imperial eagle "imperial eagle"? The German Empire ended in 1919, The Graf Spee was built in the 1930s, there had been the Weimer Republic (and I thoink some other) govermrnt in between.
And what do you think was hidden under that yellow sheeting?
Here's a clue
I don't want the ugly side of history get tossed away but kept as a reminder of what can happen when bad people run things.
