Nazis didnt destroy the Eiffel Tower because they wanted to preserve the historical monuments for themselves (whats the point in trashing something you will later own) In Russia, specifically st. Petersburg they made sure not to bomb curtain architectural monuments (cathedrals, statues etc) thats why a lot of them survived during WWII meanwhile everything else was destroyed
