Leipzig, Germany: Monument to the Battle of the Nations

More info about travel to Germany: https://www.ricksteves.com/europe/ger... The gigantic monument outside Leipzig, Germany,  commemorates the pivotal "Battle of the Nations," which involved forces all over Europe.  It feels religious, but it's strikingly secular — a powerful monument to more than a battle: to the power of nationalism and to the fact that war leaves even the winners saddled with grief.
