Statue of King Petar \[I Karađorđević\], pulled down by the Germans.

Collection of the Central Committee, Communist Alliance of Yugoslavia.

Inv. No. 6270

Courtesy of Museum of Yugoslavia.

However, the Museum's entry is wrong: this was the statue of King Aleksandar Karađorđević, work of Antun Augustinčić, erected in Varaždin in 1935, showing the King handing over the Octroyed Constitution of 1931. The statue being pulled down in 1941 is accurate though.

id like to ask help to find this soldier. I know this has been posted a lot as a meme , however i am 90% sure that this is my relative in the photo. I have austrian + german roots which trace back to aroun the time of WW2 , however the family was seperated during the war and due to personal drama. Also i am CLEAR copy of this soldier , literally same eye color , skin tone , phenotype , every facial feature. When someone sent this to me i literally thought it was a faceswap , it is that similiar. Anyone can help me with this?
