Unknown Jewish German Ace

In Germany, a fight to preserve the grave of a Jewish flying ace erased by the Nazis

If I have understood the article correctly, it is not a question of a renewed removal of a grave site of a Jewish aviator, whose grave the Nazis had already destroyed. It is rather about the fact that a pseudo gravesite newly erected by two activists was not accepted by the state of Berlin as an honorary grave.
The reasons given for the rejection are based on the statutes and are thus democratically legitimized. Not mentioned, but probably just as important, is that in today's Germany it is not helpful for such an honor that an aviator killed many young men in airplanes of other countries more than a hundred years ago.
It is something else to argue for the care and preservation of war graves in general, or for the preservation of even outmoded historical war memorials, or to glorify historical acts of war nowadays.
