ah yes, statues are sacred and important and we wouldn't know history without them, that's why nobody remembers what happened in Germany in the 40's
We know what the winners wrote about it

Would you like to see saddam husseins statue still up?
There's definitely a point where its silly, but there's also a point when it's justified.
See, this is ancient, but the precursor of things to come if it is continued. No one has the right to remove any history from this world, irregardless, for ANY reason.

Did pulling it down alter his evil legacy?

Statues are art, someone created them. smashing them and Tearing them down is an atrocity of society. The people tearing them down neither created them or paid for them, their ancestors paid for them and they do not have the right to tear them down. Now if a lot of older people, in their seventies or above, wanted to tear them down, I would say go for it, they paid for them. But I bet not many of those who paid lots of taxes in those days wants to see the statues destroyed, they are part of our heritage.

Since we destroyed all statues about Nazi-Germany and Adolf Hitler, we know nearly nothing about those times,too.
Shouldn't have done that. Should really not have done that. We know next to nothing now.

It had a clear effect on his legacy, I remember it clearly how ever many years after the fact.
I'm not sure anyone can dictate the value of a statue.

Depends on who or what the statue represents.
Pedophile Jimmy Saville had his statue demolished. Nothing sacred about him or his bloody statue.
Paedophiles rebrand themselves as MAPs - minor attracted persons
Britain's most notorious sex offenders are using main stream websites such
as youtube, twitter and instagram to rebrand paedophilia as a harmless sexual
preference. Disturbing accounts are being set up every day which refer to
both potential and prolific abusers as MAP's to escape the stigma attached to
the word paedophile.
The anonymous users have even created their own rainbow'MAP pride flag -
with some arguing that they should be celebrated as a niche group alongside
the LGBT community, in an attempt to cast paedophilia as part of societies
wider move towards sexual liberation.
