A soldier in the outfit of the 101-th US assault division since the Second World War. The prototype for this dummy was the staff sergeant Joseph Beyrle - the only soldier of World War II, who managed to do some fighting in both the American and Soviet armies. He landed with the Americans in Normandy, but was captured, on the third attempt he escaped and got into the disposition of the Soviet troops, where he managed to make war with the Soviet tank battalion.

The fate of Joseph Beyrle can be read in detail in Wikipedia. Interestingly, his son from 2008 to 2011. was the US ambassador to Russia.

But what about the famous "second front"?

[studentmati]

A chic museum with authentic exhibits! And the treacherous behavior of the state apparatus in the person of local officials, indulging the mercantile interests of citizens (more precisely, individuals inhabiting this territory) in order to preserve the Great History.
What, when and where will these "citizens" teach their sons patriotism?
Or maybe I'm asking a stupid question?
Cambridge will help us?

[biglow]

a good museum, if only to restore exhibits

[Aryan]

Interestingly
did they send condoms for lend-lease?
how did the Germans goering throw off near Stalingrad instead of ammunition, equipment and food?

and on the topic, my grandmother talked about pieces of lendlizovskogo chocolate 1x1x1metyr
which was chopped with axes in portions, I would definitely crack the muzzle
although then of course it was no laughing matter

In Yalta, there is F. Roosevelt Street. I wonder if they have Stalin Street somewhere?

What are you saying? They would rather have Hitler Street than Stalin!

[Su-9]

A interesting question.
In Canada, until the 90s, there was a peak of Stalin, then in the wake of perestroika it was renamed. But Canadians and Berlin renamed their.
In Paris there is a metro Stalingradskaya. I wasn’t even her. And in Brussels there is a street. And in Bologna - well, it's probably who came back from captivity so called.
But more interestingly, in England there are Stalin Road in Colchester and Stalin Avenue in Chatham. I was a little surprised when I found out.

And in the states, yes, there is Hitler Street, but the truth is that it was not named after Adolf, but in honor of the founder of that village in the 19th century.

do not blame the Ukrainians) but blame Khrushchev first of all ... there were 3 streets, Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin ... after 1961, it seems that Stalin Street was changed to Sovetskaya Street ........

[omsbon]

Small, cozy museum! I like it!

[KG_patriot_last]

The British have a helmet for an African TVD. The Soviet troops singled out a belt. It is still not very prominent among the Americans and the rest.

[Aryan]

Of course, they did not sharpen the belt buckles for hand-to-hand combat ...

[KG_patriot_last]

probably you and I were bombarded by the great lover of Soviet military belts

Such museums are very important, it is especially pleasing that it was created at the school, but also "-" of this - low availability and bandwidth. But all the same news from the category "+"

[Kovrovsky]

I liked the phrase that toys were put in for children. They understood that during the war, children have the worst. Thank them for that! The supplied food, especially the stew, was often called the "second front".

Any museums are needed, any museums are important, if only the facts were not faked there! Museums teach that all good things are not forgotten, and all bad things are not repeated!

[mithridate]

indeed, museums provide a visual representation of history. And it is very important that the younger generation visit such museums, while whisking the ideological noodles of the Tolerast from their ears

[Nrsimha42]

The idea is wonderful! I would like to visit him.

[waisson]

I don’t know how anyone was interested in the history of small museums of a certain subject, because remember the times of the USSR, every school had a museum and patriotism was formed on us, the love of the place where you were born in a village, and the pride for your homeland grew

[Asan Ata]

My classmate father had a military pilot. From the war there was such a red tanned jacket with leather inserts. Lenka in the 10th grade alter it, it turned out very much a sheepskin coat, this is 20 years after the war!

[SlavaP]

And here I still remember the Studebakers — they ran about 20-25 years after the war. Once, as a kid, for a laugh, he plugged one of the exhausts with potatoes - so he shot it like a bullet when it started!
