Thanks for the video! Great museum! I highly recommend it, along with the British Naval Museum at Portsmouth. My only bad experience at the Imperial War Museum came when I had a London Cockney tour guide for the World War 1 trenches exhibit and, seriously, needed subtitles in English to understand what she said...in English. During my career I had the great opportunity to work for many years in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. There are many great museums there. I recommend the History Museum and Memorial of Glory in Kharkov, Ukraine. The Museums of the Great Patriotic War in Moscow and St. Petersburg, particularly St. Petersburg, (go in summer, NOT winter!). Babi Yar ravine in Kiev (Kyiv) is unforgettable. And, dare I forget, the National Museum in Prague, Czech Republic. Many of these museums cover more topics than just war, but all are fascinating. Many of these cities, just the individual cities, had more casualties of the war the the entire European theater losses for the USA. The Memorial of Glory in Kharkov honors the 274,000 residents of that city that were killed in World War 2. Throughout the cities and parks of these countries you will see many memorials and statues...statues to lost children and mothers, for example. It is a sobering thing to see. While overseas, I met and married my Ukrainian wife and we still visit Ukraine and Europe every year and I always seek out the great museums.
