The current exhibit, entitled “Assault from the Air: Paratroopers of World War II,” opened on 21 September. and was inaugurated on April 21, 2022.
Through numerous objects, uniforms and testimonies often unpublished, the Airborne Museum offers an exhibition that traces the history of paratroopers in the various armies involved in World War II.
Why, how and when were the airborne troops created?
In what types of operations were they engaged?
In which theaters of operation did they fight?
As many answers as there are countries. Whether these countries were part of the Allies such as the USA, Great Britain, Canada, Poland or the USSR, France (Free France but also Vichy), or the Axis forces: Germany, Italy, Japan.
Through a magnificent collection assembled for the first time, mainly from private collections, with pieces as rare as the equipment effects of a British veteran of the Bruneval Raid in 1942, the testimony of a former SAS of the Free France, the extraordinary history of these elite troops will be told.
