I know there were other NES members there today, but I didn't see them.
The good: An amazing collection. I'll go back again as you can't take all that in in one visit. Much to my surprise, many kids, some of whom knew their WWII history and clearly not drug there by their parents because it was Memorial Day weekend.
The Bad: Had an "interesting" experience via the exist metal detector and I know I'm not the only NES member who had the experience. I'd prefer not to go into details on a public forum, but I'd say either alert them to the fact you CCW or don't CCW and one person that worked there clearly not a fan of those who CCW... Maybe another member who had similar experience while there can go into details...OK, to museum:
The Museum Of World War Two is one the largest collection of privately own WWII memorabilia in the world. It’s a “must see” for anyone who’s a big WWII history buff. It was not even open to the public for many years, so few (including myself who lives close by) even knew it existed. It’s now open to the public with reservations in advance. This is not just a bunch of clothes and a few metals and some posters, this is a collection that will make your jaw drop with the effort put into this collection. I will go back again as you can’t take it all in in one visit.
Below are some sample pictures, and a link to a bunch more. I have never seen a collection like it and the value, both historically and financially, without measure. All photos, docs, posters, clothing, etc, etc all original. Enjoy!
Original artwork by Hitler:
One of many Enigma Machines:
Old "Blood And Guts"!
A gent who works there who flew 35 missions in a B17 over Germany explains the cockpit of the B17 and I spoke with him about all manner of things, missions, etc
And tons of this...
