D: Gemeinschaftserzeugn Enigma (1938)
| Description | Since its opening day on D-Day -- June 6, 2000, nearly two-million visitors have toured the National World War II Museum. A must-see for history lovers and all patriots, it has been designated by the U.S. Congress as the country's official World War II Museum. Powerful images and extraordinary artifacts bring to life the American Spirit, the courage, teamwork and sacrifice of the young men and women who won the war and changed the world. From the 1930s prelude to war, to the Normandy Invasion and the battles of the Pacific Islands, visitors trace America's role in the war and on the Home Front.
The soaring Louisiana Memorial Pavilion houses the museum's reproduction of the LCVP (Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel) or Higgins boat that carried thousands of Allied soldiers to the beaches of Normandy during the D-Day invasion of June 6, 1944. It was carefully reproduced from original WWII plans by more than 100 volunteers, many of whom were former employees of A.J. Higgins, Inc., a New Orleans-based shipbuilding company. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower credited Higgins with winning the war for the Allies. The Pavilion also features * C-47 fighter plane * Spitfire and Bf 109 airplanes * Sherman tank * amphibious Jeep and other rotating war-related equipment. From the beaches of Normandy to the sands of Iwo Jima, The National WWII Museum's exhibits are a blend of personal accounts, artifacts, documents, photographs and original film footage. The stories of the dozens of amphibious landings and the thousands of men and women who made Allied victory in World War II possible are told through three floors of exhibit space. In addition, special exhibits draw on the Museum’s own collections, as well as relevant traveling exhibits to further illustrate and explore the war that changed the world. We recommend allowing at least two to three hours to visit the Museum. |
