33. Including a Triumphal Arch he sketched himself as long ago as 1925

The triumphal arch was to span a distance of 87 metres and rise 100 metres, dwarfing not only the Arc de Triomphe but also the Eiffel Tower. On it the names of the fallen heroes of the Great War were to be inscribed.

So that's a little bigger than Trump's current idea. Would he want his bigger still, or is he content that Hitler just thought bigger than him?
