A national Electronic Field Trip examining the top-secret WWII effort to build the atomic bomb is coming to classrooms in early 2020.

Building on the popularity of last year’s event, The National WWII Museum and the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) are proud to present WWII AirPower Expo 2015 – a three-day display of WWII warbirds in action. From October 23 to 25, an expansive fleet of vintage WWII aircraft – including the only flying B-29 Superfortress – will be on-site at the New Orleans Lakefront Airport, offering close contact with the planes and pilots that liberated the skies above the Pacific and Europe.

More than 2,600 Americans perished around the world on October 24, 1944—a day overshadowed by more widely remembered dates in WWII history.

The National WWII Museum today announced new dates for “The Rise and Fall of Hitler’s Germany” tour. Taking place from May 18 to May 29, 2017, the exclusive 12-day trip will explore Germany and Poland through the lens of the rise and fall of the Third Reich. Featuring noted historian Alexandra Richie, DPhil—one of the world's foremost experts on World War II in Europe—the tour will visit Berlin's Olympic Stadium and Reichstag; sites of the Third Reich's exploits and atrocities across Europe at Auschwitz, Wannsee and Warsaw as well as stunning cathedrals and Teutonic castles.
