THE IMAGES OF THE RESCUE OF THE EAGLE OF THE GRAF SPEE WERE HANDOUT BY THE BUSINESSMAN ALFREDO ETCHEGARAY.TRANSLATIONALFREDO ETCHEGARAY: 1. "It was said that there was the possibility of the eagle, that it could have been secretly removed by the Germans, that it could have been removed by the English who had divers working there with those old scuba divers, however there they were with their equipment in a very good state"2. "The boat is in bad, it is in a very bad state, but it doesn't matter, you have to leave it like that, that it is seen"3. "Reflection is one of the most important things because reflection helps correct the path of things and not make the mistakes of the past"DANIEL ACOSTA Y LARA: "It is really impressive, I was the one who proposed to cover the swastika, then that was criticized. Emotionally it had an impressive effect to see the eagle emerge from the water, not because I have any inclination for Nazi images, much the opposite, when they ask me about the ship I say that it was well sunk. It is not possible to take it out, the ship is very damaged, it is broken in two, say the part of the stern where the major explosion occurred "

This decrepit old building was once called the Wofsschanze, or Wolf's Lair, and it actually served as the headquarters of Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union. Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler spent over 800 days at this location between 1941 and 1944, scheming with his top generals and planning the unthinkable horror of the concentration camps. However, despite the dark history, the owner of the Wolfsschanze estate chose to organize some outdoor games on the territory, and the Polish government responded by seizing the property.
A time capsule buried by the Nazis in 1934 was uncovered in the Polish town of Zlocieniec earlier in September, revealing an array of perfectly preserved relics from the Nazi era, bring back memories of a time when Poland was under the occupation of Adolf Hitler's National Socialist government.
