You know, right after the end of WW2, the east German communist regime instead of engaging in a process of denazification tried to blame some of the most horrific parts of the war on the western allies and to frame the western allies as unnecesseryly cruel. One place they chose to demonstrate that was the city of Dresden, which had been practicaly burnt to the ground due to massive British bombardment.
They blamed the extent of the boming on "british cruelty" and created a WW2 memorial sight in the city in which various different crimes and "non-crimes" of the war are mentioned. At this reched "memorial" Dresden is described and put into scene as being equal to Auschwitz. Back then that served the communist regimes purpose of demonising the western allies, but today the sight is a horrific place of pilgrimage for fascist from all over Europe. And each year at the aniversery of the bombardment the city is filled with neo nazis from all accross the world taking a pilgremage all throughout the city which leads to dis horrible and disgusting "memorial".
