The National Museum of the Second World War is a large military-historical project telling the history of the Second World War in an interactive mode. Here you can see a large number of military equipment used in battles and documents with historical value.
The main idea of the museum is to remind people about the war changing the whole world. It shows that people need to appreciate their freedom and life.
The part of the museum dedicated to the Pacific Ocean is called the Pacific Theater of War. Here are photographs and memories from famous personalities about the war. Among them are Henry Ford, Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable, Paul Newman, and others. All of them were participating in the fleet battles during the Second World War and celebrated the victory over fascism.
A large exhibition of photographs is dedicated to dogs. There is a story about Terrier Smokey. It helped to land planes while running on the runway. Attention is also paid to the military kitchen. The museum keeps a cookbook with recipes. People used it to prepare food in the Navy. The activity of the Red Cross is also described in detail. The participants of this organization were 7.5 million Americans during wartime.
The European Theater of War tears the soul apart. Here you can find letters of soldiers, memories of prisoners of concentration camps, photographs, and the memories of children who were victims of wartime.
The battles that took place in the sky amaze with the power and strength of the United States Army. You can listen to some information about B-17 which was ordered even by the United Kingdom. During the Second World War, more than 4.5 million of these aircraft were dropping bombs to the enemies and providing the ships with soldiers.
Despite the color artifacts of the museum, there is an air of depression. It is hard to imagine how many people died and suffered for the peace of future generations.
