In the german article it says 90% of his work was destroyed by the Allies, not ´lost´. Where lies the truth? Alex 10.07.06
- Well, this is mainly a question of perspective. The Allies systematically destroyed a lot of German and European culture, e.g. most historical inner cities (while they did not or hardly bomb the huge part of military industry that was US-owned, e.g. factories of IG Farben, Ford and Opel (General Motors)) and until today they still keep Germany under occupation law. So it does not really make a difference.
- I own the book "Arno Breker - A Life for the Beautiful" by Dominique Egret, ISBN 3-87847-157-2. It says that most of Breker's works were destroyed systematically by the Allies. 87.123.53.155 16:33, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

- Many thanks for the link to the interview. But I can assure you that what I wrote above is, as far as I can tell after years of (private) study on the newer history of Germany, accurate and only the tip of an iceberg. On some levels of abstraction you can see a straight line between nearly all wars that the US (or the Wall Street?) ever did, including even the US civil war, up to the war against Iraq and the possible war against Iran. There exist many quotes by Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and other leading politicians of the Allies that WWII mainly wasn't a war against Hitler, but a war against Germany. This is why Roosevelt asked Germany for "unconditional surrender", not for the disempowerment of Hitler or the Nazis. GB and the US (plus other states, mainly France) also actively supported Poland in creating the situation that made Hitler feel that he had to attack Poland, what started WWII. But thick books have been written on subjects like these, it is required to get very deeply into details to decide if my claims are correct and this is not the right place to discuss that, so you might want to look up the details yourself. 87.123.34.51 09:57, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- What you are saying is obscene. You are clearly a Nazi sympathiser, or at the very least an insane revisionist. I note that you don't have the courage to sign in as an identifiable user. Not surprising, because if you were to be located in Germany or many other European countries your ideas and opinions would be criminal offences.--Corinthian 19:53, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Your arguement would be a lot stronger if you signed your posting. Carptrash 20:13, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

- What is most exciting for me about wikipedia is that it is, among things, a collection of folks who have also put years of study into various topics. Why don't you consider registering so that this conversation can take place a a better level. My stack of books on Breker has disappeared [I just moved] while I was trying to figure out copyright issues of stuff published during the Third Reich. You have some interesting ideas, so please consider registering. Carptrash 19:42, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
I've seen a lot of references to a friendship between Salvador Dalí, Ernst Fuchs and Breker, that might be worth mentioning. Breker sculpted a bust of Dalí, Fuchs wrote a book praising Breker, and in the 1970s Dalí even wrote a manifesto of sorts, with lines like "We are the GOLDEN TRIANGLE: Dali – Breker – Fuchs". --Delirium 09:20, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

- You will find only references made by Joe F. Bodenstein! He is the owner of the "museum-arno-breker" located in his house, the owner the publisher "Marco-Edition" in Bonn, founder the "European Art Foundation", owner of "PROMETHEUS, Internet Bulletin for Art, Politics and Science" etc, etc... all instruments to promote Arno Breker. Joe F. Bodenstein is the copyright-holder of all rights from Breker. 217.232.60.67 (talk) 20:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
