Default Hitler visits Vimy Ridge

Hope this isn't a Fata. (Could someone explain why we use Fata?)

Very interesting story for us history buffs

When Rico Fata was traded, there was apparently quite a lot of threads that kept repeating the same thing...

Then came the "Red Hot Fata" a variation, just involved the Red Hot Flames video..

Someone even made a dancing rico fata head with "red hot fata" supers on the image.

Pretty cool, but Hitler only preserved it because he liked the architecture and it was not in his way. It is true that Hitler had a soft spot for the war machines of old, but if it was in his way it would now be gone.

The story I read said Hitler preserved the Vimy monument because it wasn't presented as a monument to triumph, rather a monument to sacrifice.
