Don't have any good local ones except for forts and the submarinebase now being used as a datacenter/archive. But this one is like 1,5 hour drive from the city, commemorating those killed and burried in the Falstad forest(prisoners from a concentration camp for ethnic Norwegians).

These a 1km trail trough the forest behind the monument with pyramid like tombstones marking where massgraves were found after the war.

We were neutral at first but seeing as France lost and Britain being too busy to give a shit about us, Russia took a huge chunk now known as the Republic of Moldova. Government popularity and neutrality went down the toilet.
King was deposed in a coup, Antonescu and his Iron Guard took over, they were buddies with ol' Hitler. After shit got out of hand with the Iron Guard, even Antonescu wanted to get rid of them. As the war went on, the King's son did his own coup and sided with the Allies.

Been there. It's pretty strange to stand there looking over the place and it's more like a weird park at first until you start to realize that all these stones stand for different people and that not everyone was lucky enough to end up having a proper grave. The design of the building kind of annoyed me, because it has a lot of phallic shapes, which takes away the serious tone.

Quick to act when a hostile grenade landed nearby, endangering the life of another marine, as well as his own, he unhesitatingly chose to sacrifice himself and immediately threw his body upon the deadly missile, receiving the full impact of the explosion..."

In honor of Major Fernando Ribas Dominicci

"On April 15, 1986, in response to acts of terrorism sponsored by Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi, the United States attacked key terrorist training facilities in Tripoli, Libya using 18 USAF F-111F fighter-bombers & 5 EF-111A Radar Jamming aircraft from bases in England. The attack was code-named Operation El Dorado Canyon.[2] This was part of a joint strike mission in coordination with US Navy aircraft which struck targets in Behghazi, Libya at the same time. Maj. Ribas-Dominicci was one of the pilots who participated in the air raid as member of the 48th Tactical Fighter Wing. His F-111F was shot down in action over the disputed Gulf of Sidra off the Libyan coast."

There you go m8. Hordes of people moved to this slum neighborhood back in the 80s due to internal displacement from the countryside. That's our war monument

It's The Cenotaph. I live in London, Ontario and this one is a twin to an identical monument in London, England.

It unfortunately looks a little bare because this is the highest resolution picture I could find and the 3 flags are not on it in the picture. Typically it would have the flags of the military branches on it.

It commemorates all soldiers lost in war. It was modified in the 2000s to add a plaque on the side for UN Peacekeeping forces.

I get that it's supposed to be a dead guy and a mother nursing her baby, but it just looks like a guy nutting with a huge floppy dick
