Prisoners of War
We are collecting our various POW exhibits on one page to help visitors find information and to better communicate the POW story. The museum’s POW collections are continuing to grow and we will continue to add to the online content.
Farewell Uninvited Guests
We have published another Vietnamese propaganda film titled Farewell Uninvited Guests. The Vietnamese language film was created upon the release of the American prisoners.

We have just added the English language version of the Pilots in Pajamas video series. The video series is a set of propaganda films produced by the Communist Est Germans for distribution in multiple countries.
