Statue, Kastellet, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2007

This relatively simple statue of a World War II soldier is just what it looks like, a World War II memorial. Nearby is the far-more-famous Little Mermaid, once decapitated by feminists for being hateful of women....because all portrayals of beautiful women are hateful to women....somehow.... In any case, I just found it boring so I didn't photograph it. Behind the World War I statue is the Kastellet, one of several castles and forts in Copenhagen. Built in 1626-1663 on the orders of Christian IV, the British first attacked it in 1801 (under the command of Lord Nelson), then briefly occupied it in 1807, both times in retaliation for the Danish government's support for Napoleon.
