Kneeling soldier - Treptower Park

This is a statue from the Treptower park war memorial, commemorating the soldiers who passed away in the “Battle of Berlin” (1941 - 1945)

 

I focused on the emblem on the larger structure and the difference in scale between the structure and the soldier to convey the weight of responsibility and willingness to serve something larger than oneself. This is in no way an official interpretation of the statue, it’s just my take on it.

 

It’s best view together with the next image which focuses on more details of the soldier.
