National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War
The Second World War has fascinated me since my school years. As I grew older, my interest in this topic increased. I still continue to learn new information about one of the largest armed conflicts in human history.
Ukraine in the Second World War
Due to its geopolitical and geostrategic position, Ukraine was one of the main springboards of the Eastern front in the Second World War. During the war, nearly 7 million Ukrainians were mobilized, representing 23% of the personnel of the Soviet Army Forces. The tragedy touched almost every Ukrainian family.
Ukrainian marshals and generals led almost half of the 15 fronts, including about 300 generals of the war. A striking, irreversible loss of Ukraine, by some estimates, amounts to 14 million people.
The National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War has 400 thousand exhibit items. There is also an exposition located in the open area. It presents to visitors samples of military vehicles from World War II and military equipment from the postwar period.
