The Warmuseum displays history as it has been accomodated to the wishes of the leaders.
Although not on the official programme, we had a strong wish to see the War Museum in Pyongyang. Because of their love for elaborate names, the North Koreans call it the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum. Fortunately, we were allowed to visit, and as always, were assigned a Korean guide at the entrance, who did not speak any English. The Korean War on all accounts started when the North Koreans attacked the South in 1950. Obviously, the North Koreans have rewritten history to their will and thus it were the "US imperialist aggressors" who attacked the North. It was to become the first conflict in which the United Nations ordered force to be used.
Our guides showed us around this museum with a victorious face, and on each possible occasion the North Koreans were praised while of course the South Korean "puppets" and the US "imperialists" were either treated in a very bitter way, or laughed upon. When in front of a completely demolished plane, allegedly American, one of the guides made a gesture of how he thought a soldier on the ground had downed the plane, which killed the pilot. A vicious smile on his face.
