Did the Nazis Ever Destroy Culturally Significant Buildings or Sites?


What with all this desecration and destruction of Confederate monuments, I was wondering if similar atrocities have occurred in the past.

REDDIT ASK HISTORIANS:  Did the Nazis ever destroy ancient and/or culturally significant buildings and sites in the same way ISIS is currently going about destroying important buildings in Syria, such as Palmyra?

The answer is yes.

**  Paris was to be destroyed before the Germans evacuated the city but the commander disobeyed Hitler's orders

**  Nazi destruction of monuments and art work took two different forms:

1.  To humiliate and culturally destroy the occupied people.
2.  They also destroyed German art work and monuments to prevent their capture by the Allies.

Makes you wonder if the Confederate-haters, are in fact Neo-Nazis or maybe Neo-ISIS.  Perhaps the Blacks are picking up the Nazi banner.
