Walter Lemcke

He produced numerous sculptures for Nazi Germany, including the eagles holding swastikas that flanked the entrance of the Ministry of Aviation in Berlin.

Examples of these works include two large sculptures that featured at the newly built Ministry of Aviation office in Berlin.

[1] These eagles added to the Nazi symbolism of the building, themselves gripping swastikas and stood atop decorative columns.

Rather than holding a swastika in its claws, this sculpture grasped a large globe to symbolise the international aspect of the airport.

The bell features the inscription "Ich rufe die Jugend der Welt" (I summon the youth of the world).
