You'll see hurricanes and Presidents, the Yo-Yo and the Flume, and you'll just about be able to taste those clam cakes and that chowder from the World's Largest Shore Dinner Hall. close
From the early race to build gliders to the D-Day invasion at Normandy and Nazi Germany's final surrender, "Silent Wings - The American Glider Pilots more
From the early race to build gliders to the D-Day invasion at Normandy and Nazi Germany's final surrender, "Silent Wings - The American Glider Pilots of WWII" narrated by Hal Holbrook, reveals the critical role gliders played in World War II offensives. Through rare archival footage and photographs, the film places the audience right at the center of the action in the dangerous world of the American glider pilot. During WWII, 6000 young Americans volunteered to fly large unarmed cargo gliders into battle. For these glider pilots every mission was do-or-die. It was their task to repeatedly risk their lives landing the men and tools of war deep within enemy-held territory, often in complete darkness. Thousands of lives were saved and battles won because of their efforts. In fact, one pilot interviewed said - the 'G' in their emblem didn't stand for glider; it stood for 'guts.' Features include: - Virtual walk-through tour of the Silent Wings Museum in Lubbock, Texas close

At the heart of a successful military strategy is a perfectly fine-tuned military machine, a complex mechanism that protects the country in combat and peacetime. In all the leading countries of the world, it manifested itself most clearly in the Second World War. Having received modern troops equipped with the latest military equipment by the beginning of the war, Germany accomplished the impossible – having passed a difficult path in a matter of years from volunteer detachments and street groups to well-organized special groups and punitive detachments, it acquired a powerful basis for invading Europe and Africa.
With the help of unique newsreels and rich factual material, we will trace the growth of the war machine of fascist Germany and its most important components - the Luftwaffe tank troops, the marines. You will also find a detailed account of the emergence of the fascist elite - the SS, the structure of the stormtroopers (SA) and the creation of the Hitler Youth - the last hope of the crumbling Nazi war machine. close

At the heart of a successful military strategy is a perfectly fine-tuned military machine - a complex mechanism that protects the country in combat and peacetime. In all the leading countries of the world, it manifested itself most clearly in the Second World War. Here is a chronicle of the creation of one of the most powerful military vehicles in history, to this day effectively supporting the defense of the United States. With only 100,000 men in reserve after World War I, America’s military-industrial complex grew at a rapid rate, which allowed it to play a crucial role in the fight against the Nazis. Ground units of various purposes, detachments of the Air Force, the shock American fleet, fearless Marines and Coast Guard troops, made an invaluable contribution to the victory of the Allies over the common enemy. A detailed account of the formation of each branch of the military and the weapons that provide their power is provided with an impressive documentary chronicle and a rich set of facts from the military archives. close
