Places to see in ( Dresden - Germany ) Military History Museum
The Bundeswehr Military History Museum is the military museum of the German Armed Forces, the Bundeswehr, and one of the major military history museums in Germany. It is located in a former military arsenal in the Albertstadt which is part of Dresden. After a long history of switching titles and approaches to military history, the museum was re-opened in 2011 with a new internal and external concept. The museum focuses on the human aspects of war, while also showcasing the evolution of German military technology.
The original building, the armory, was built between 1873-1876 and became a museum in 1897. Originally the Saxon armory and museum, the building has served as a Nazi museum, a Soviet museum and an East German museum which reflected the region's shifting social and political positions over the last 135 years. In 1989, the museum was closed because the newly unified German state was unsure how the museum would fit into the history being created. By 2001, feelings regarding the museum had shifted and an architectural competition was held for an extension which would cause visitors to reconsider the way they think about war.
The original armory building was completed in 1876 as an armory for Kaiser Wilhelm I. The Arsenal main building in the center of Dresden's Albert City served as an armory for roughly twenty years, until it was transformed into a museum in 1897. Since then, the main building of the arsenal has housed the Royal Arsenal Collection, the Royal Saxon Army Museum, and in 1923 became the Saxon Army Museum. After 1938, the museum became the Army Museum of the Wehrmacht, and in 1972 the Army Museum of the GDR. Seven months before the reunification of Germany, the museum was renamed the Military History Museum in Dresden.
On February 13 and 14, 1945, British bomber planes commenced an air attack against Dresden, creating a vast firestorm below. During the first phase, 244 Lancaster bombers dropped high explosive and incendiary bombs aimed at the center of the city. American B-17 bombers followed the next morning, to destroy the city's railroad marshaling yards. While much of the city was in ruins, the Bundeswehr's main military museum and most of the other military buildings in the Albertstadt survived the bombing of Dresden because of its location on the city's outskirts. The building withstood World War II attacks on Germany and continued to be used as a military museum until it was closed in 1989. It re-opened again in 2011 and provided a new way of presenting military history. The exhibition concept and design was developed by HG Merz.
The museum has made an effort to distance itself from the usual presentations of military history. Instead of glorifying war and armies, the museum tries to present the causes and consequences of war and violence. The focus is placed on the human component of war, on the hopes, fears, passion, courage, memories and aspirations of those involved. The museum seeks to inform visitors about the military history while encouraging them to ask questions and seek new answers. Visitors can go through the museum through two approaches: thematic sections, and a chronological tour. Additionally, the museum showcases the history of Military Technology, Handguns, Uniforms and Insignia, Order, Art, an Image Archive, Records, and a Library.

Deutschland - Militärhistorisches Museum Dresden
Seit Oktober 2011 zeigt sich das Militärhistorische Museum der Bundeswehr in Dresden in einem neuen Gewand. Den Umbau leitete Stararchitekt Daniel Libeskind. Das Gebäude am Olbrichtplatz wurde von 1873 bis 1877 gebaut und bildet das Zentrum der Albertstadt. Schon 1914 wurde im Gebäude zum ersten Mal ein Armeemuseum eröffnet.
Das neueröffnete Museum zeigt die Verbindung von Militär und Gesellschaft in den verschiedenen Epochen. Es dürfte wenige Militärmuseen auf dieser Welt geben, die dem Betrachter so viel Abstand zum Krieg geben wie in Dresden. Der Besucher wird hier keine Euphorie über Kriegssieger aber auch keine Schreckensbilder von Verlierern finden. Der Besucher kann die ausgestellten Exponate auf sich wirken lassen. Da gibt es faszinierende Technik zu entdecken, die aber auch bedrohlich wirkt. Militärgeschichte ist aber auch einspannender Exkurs in viele Jahrhunderte Menschheitsgeschichte. Auch Kultur findet ihren Platz - und die Gesellschaft war immer der Impulsgeber für das Wirken des Militärs.
Mein Film zeigt einen kleinen Überblick und soll animieren sich selbst mit diesem sehenswerten Museum auseinanderzusetzen. Er hat nicht den Anspruch von Vollständigkeit und folgt auch nicht in jedem Falle der Chronologie. Vielleicht macht er ja Lust, in Dresden mal etwas anderes als die Alten Meister oder das Grüne Gewölbe zu besuchen.
Für mich ist dieses Museum besonders deshalb so wertvoll, weil es Krieg zeigt, wie er ist - bedrohlich. Und das passt wohltuend zu dieser Stadt, die aus der Erfahrung des 13./14. Februar 1945 mahnt: NIE WIEDER KRIEG!

Since October 2011, shows the Military History Museum of the Bundeswehr in Dresden in a new guise. The conversion led star architect Daniel Libeskind. The building was built on Olbrichtplatz 1873 to 1877 and is the center of the town of Albert. In 1914 the building was the first time an army museum opened.
The newly opened museum shows the connection between the military and society in different eras. There should be few military museums in the world that give the viewer as much distance as the war in Dresden. The visitor is here no euphoria about the war winners will also no horrific images of losers. The visitor can let the exhibits to be. As you can discover fascinating technology, but also acts threatening. Military history is also a panne Santander excursion into many centuries of human history. Even culture has its place - and the company has always been the inspiration for the work of the military.
My film shows a brief overview and is intended to encourage yourself to deal with this remarkable museum. He does not claim of completeness and also does not follow in any case, the chronology. Maybe it makes you want to visit Dresden something different than the old masters or the Green Vault.
For me, this museum is especially so valuable because it shows war as it is - threatening. And that fits beneficial to this city, from the experience of 13-14. February 1945 warns: NO MORE WAR!

Priceless treasures stolen in castle vault heist in Germany
Thieves have stolen around 100 pieces of priceless treasure in an audacious heist from a castle vault in the German city of Dresden.
Several criminals gained access to the Green Vault, one of the largest collections of masterpieces in Europe, lifting artifacts of immeasurable value, according to Roland Woeller, a local politician.
The vault features an astounding collection of historical jewelry and precious ornaments -- from shimmering bowls carved out of crystal and agate to jeweled figurines and goblets fashioned from gilded ostrich eggs.
One of the most famous pieces of the collection, a 41-carat green diamond known as the Dresden Green, was not in the museum at the time. It is currently on loan to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Burglars broke into one of Europe's largest treasure collections - the Green Vault in the German city of Dresden - early on Monday, police say.
The popular German daily Bild says the thieves are thought to have grabbed diamonds and other jewels worth millions of euros. The Saxony state authorities have not given details yet.
Dozens of police cars are at the scene and the Green Vault is now shut.
Saxony ruler August the Strong created the collection in the 18th Century.
It is called the Green Vault because some rooms were decorated with malachite-green paint. It is housed in the Residenzschloss - a former royal palace.

Did Hitler spare the British at Dunkirk?
My comment section is filled with people that state that Hitler wanted to spare the British and thus let the British Expeditionary Force escape at Dunkirk, since he wanted peace with the British Empire. The note a lot of points. Yet, the point mostly at various speeches and texts, but at the same time completely ignore the military operations and their results, namely number of sorties, units and especially losses. So, let's separate the myths from the facts.
