The Warmuseum displays history as it has been accomodated to the wishes of the leaders.
"The visitor can see what preeminent military ideas the Great Leader Marshal Kim Il Sung conceived and how his thoughts were applied successfully", according to the brochure of the museum. There are some halls, in which you enter from below, and which depict complete battles. The visitor just sits down on a revolving platform, which allows a view of the battle, with light effects, sounds, and explanations in Korean. The scenes are very realistic, as real trees, earth and life size puppets and weapons are used. Obviously, it is always the heroic Koreans who win the battle. Koreans fight in a decisive way. Moreover, it has probably been one of the saddest and most senseless wars in the 20th century (if ever there was not a sad and senseless war), as the ceasefire which was reached in 1953 effectively re-established the pre-war situation, the division of the country along the 38th parallel. This re-establishment had cost an estimated 2 million deaths combined. It left us with a very uncomfortable feeling.
