I last visited over ten years ago. I heard that their WW1 exhibition was extensively revamped ahead of the centenary. Is there anything particularly noteworthy in that area? I'm wondering about visiting again once the school holidays are over.

The third floor exhibitions change frequently, they're currently doing a photography piece on rendition and torture under dubya. I think it's really good, the overall effect is eerie.
Also a Syria gallery that is surprisingly balanced and detailed.
The Afghanistan section is good too, lots of interesting perspectives and commentary from people who were there. Seemed like the initial plan was really bungled and by the time the coalition got its shit together, they were pulling out. The consensus of the interviewees seemed to be we would have had to stay for 25 years but could have done a post-war-Germany with the time and resources. But as soon as the country was actually stable, Obama was in office.

Not that I've seen but I shall look again in a moment. There was something about British Special Forces and MI6 ops in the far east.
Picrel is a British "flying pig" trench mortar. So named because it's distinctive, large, low velocity projectiles were easily visible in flight.
Supposedly, it could blow the uniform off a man.

Turns out that particular spit flew 57 combat sorties throughout the war, by 13 pilots including two Americans (one of whom was the shortest pilot in the history of the RAF at 4'10) and two Poles. Her pilots racked up 11 kills before she was handed over to a training squadron in the latter half of the war.

>>34784749

Also used in WWII as an antitank gun, by both sides. So overall i'd say it was a pretty successful design.

everything

When I was there they had a genocide exhibition and there was guard at the entrance who collected our cameras for some reason. No photos allowed when beholding the shoah apparently. While the exhibition was 70% holocaust centered there was also a portion about the war crimes committed by russians against the Germans after the war which was a nice touch.

"My Lord the gun!
In a good temper,
He shoots like a dream!
When hot and sulky and steaming
He jams sometimes or jibs,
And then men pet him
Bathe him down,
And stroke him with cloths,
Fuss with oil cans
Till with a roar
he leaps into action again
His snout tilts upward,
Sniffing the air,
His lips slobber with smoke and flame.
My lord the Gun
Has come into his own.

Do tell, would it have gone any better in drab uniforms? By far the greater sin was England giving their troops tin hats until someone realized if you make it out of steel it becomes a helmet and reduce casualties.

Even compared to the French, that Austrian one looks really bright. It's in a dark room so it doesn't show well in the picture, but I find it really hard to believe it made no difference to troop survivability.
Also there are lots of small bits of shiny metal on the Austrian one.

Yup. No codes, no nothing. If the sub captain assesses that Britain has been destroyed, it's his decision to fire. Even the famous "letters of last resort" are not binding orders, just the view of the PM on the matter so he can make an informed decision.

If you mean the "Germany" that exists now, which has opened Europe to the muzzie horde (among a litany of other things) then I suppose you're right. Other than the way German handled occupation of Belgium in WW1 (most of which was exaggerated propaganda) Germany has literally done nothing wrong.

Fine. I'll bite, just shut the hell up.

All agreements happened previously. Even if there were doubts of the Soviets before, they still had the manpower and the military to be a great asset. It has nothing to do with the Jews. It has to do with the fact that the Russians, British, and French all in some capacity went to war with Germany, later seeking reparations for the war. With this universal goal, they beat down the Germans and got what was there's as much as that was possible.With this common goal, they were willing to unite when the Germans pulled some shit. Especially with the German's "revocation" of the non-aggression pact.

What the fuck are you even implying? What about any of this screams "jewish conspiracy" beyond what you have been fed from /pol/?

desu I didn't spend much time on the ground floor or the holocaust bit. Some good pieces of kit around though

>>34791666
Facts
>Germany invaded Poland and Britain and France declared war
>Russia invaded Poland two weeks later
>allies didn't declare war

How much simpler can I make it for you, you fucking faggot?

What really stuck with me at this museum was a memorial to the 23,000,000 dead soviets in WW2. It's a small one in the garden outside.

Yet if you go into the museum, the holocaust has an entire floor, and even a few smaller parts on the other floors.

simple enough to have something that proves your conspiracy fever dreams

is /pol/ really this lazy?

>>34791681
>>34791765
Its just this. If you want even more of an explanation.
>soviets are an ally, Poland is wartorn and someone needs to occupy the territory
>soviets are not a force for the British or French to fuck with
>so let it ride, and deal with the problems at hand
It is logic, not conspiracy.

talk about how the 22. is the best round ever

Anyone been to musee de les invalides in Paris? I didn't have as long as I would have liked to look around, but I was very surprised to see an MP18 and, like, 3 seperate FG-42s.

I went a few years back and was pleasantly surprised how much cool shit they had.
I remember there was a tiny italian submarine that looked straight out of Tintin.

But it's not, it's just an outgrowth of the nationalistic fervor that swept the continent a half-century prior. If anything it was exacerbated by the turmoil of having a generation killed and the economies of the major powers devastated.

I mean you can try and blame communism, but that's just another reaction to the same problem.

I see where they were going, but something british would have been better.

Which is negligible in close combat, which infantry are for, if they were marksmen or snipers or even some specialist troop you'd have a point, but not for infantry.
