The Memorial to the 39th Fusilier Regiment at Reeser Platz in Düsseldorf, Germany, completed in 1939 shortly before WW2 started.

---

The "39er Denkmal" was completed shortly before troops marched into Poland at the start of world war 2. It depicts the glorification of war by the Nationalsozialist (Nazi) party , and shows soldiers arising from the grave and marching with unbroken will into battle. It survived destruction after the war ended as it was considered to be a memorial to the fallen soldiers.
