Laurie and I went back to the WWII Museum in Wakefield, RI. We went over the summer on a rainy day. The museum was incredible and we knew we would go back. When we went, we took a tour lead by a docent. He showed us a ton of cool stuff and spent an unexpected two and a half hours with us.
This time we wanted to go at our own pace. We also figured two and a half hours was enough time for someone to spend with us. There is so much memorbilia that it was impossible for the docent to show it all to us. Our goal was to find some interesting to mind blowing stuff we hadn't preiously seen.
We did find a lot of amazing things we did not see the first time. As I said in the my first post, Nazi's are bad. They are the most evil regime in history. Seeing Nazi historical pieces brings strange emotions. Being that close to evil is something you do not do everyday.
