>An infamous bell dedicated to Adolf Hitler could ring again after the town council in a small German village voted not to dismantle it.
>The local council in Herxheim am Berg, a town of about 700 people north of Heidelberg, in southwest Germany, voted 10-3 Monday night to reject requests to remove the massive 83-year-old bronze bell at Kirche St. Jakobus, or the Church of St. Jacob, the regional newspaper Die Rheinpfalz reported.
>The bell bears a swastika and the inscription "Alles fuer's Vaterland — Adolf Hitler," or "Everything for the Fatherland — Adolf Hitler."
>After having hung in the church tower with little notice for decades, the bell has been the object of intense debate for almost a year after the church's organist complained about it. The town's mayor, Roland Becker, resigned in September after he gave a TV interview in which he quoted a local woman as saying Hitler should be remembered for "the things he achieved." (Becker said he'd been taken out of context, but the damage was done.)
>The new mayor, Georg Welker, supported keeping the bell in place — and even ringing it again — telling the public broadcasting program Kontraste last month that it could sound "the suffering of the victims," both Jewish and non-Jewish. Before the vote Monday night, Welker submitted a report from a historian who said the bell is an official monument, meaning it can't be altered, Die Rheinpfalz reported.

GOOD.
And not just because I'm a nazi. Destroying historic relics is disgusting.

Ignoring the politics for a moment, this is a clear win for historic monuments. The bell is a part of history, and should have been preserved on those grounds alone. It's nice knowing that people are resisting the destruction of history society pushes.

America: Confederate monuments are regularly torn down and desecrated, sometimes officially.
Germany: A churchbell literally dedicated to Adolf Hitler gets official recognition and protection as a historical monument.

This unironically brought a tear to my eye, but I fear the bell may become the subject of "unofficial" "alteration" now that it's making wider news.

How much you wanna bet the (((media))) is gonna be yelling how Germany is returning to it's former fascist self just because people in the town didn't go retard like others do and decided to keep the bell as a part of history. It doesn't matter what side the monument was on, it represents a moment of time and removing it cause your fee-fees got hurt is degenerate. Glad some people in Germany of all places see it this way.

The American Taliban will REEE quite loudly over their inability to affect this historical object.
>official monument, meaning it can't be altered
Oh I can't wait for the shitstorm that will ensue after this. Betting 200 shekels that the media will be flinging "literal nazi" left and right. I also hope the bell is safely guarded, and anyone who tries anything will get caught, as (((they))) and the leftist will probably make a move.Actually, use this as a trap and see how many people will get arrested trying to remove it.
