I found some of my old reference pics used for D-Gruppe. In this case of the statue from Hermansdenkmal since, if you are going to have characters land on it or fly by it you need scale.
One thing I did not know was true until; the mid 1980s is that there was an American counterpart to "Onkle Hermann" at New Ulm, in Minnesota.
There is a page with more information here:
I had a story where the German and the American monuments were somehow magically interlinked.

Below: No, that is NOT Brian Blessed as King of the Hawkmen from the 1980s Flash Gordon movie! Although I think someone is having a laugh here!
