Exhibit Media
The cemetery visitor center shares the stories of American soldiers based out of the United Kingdom and who fought and died in the Battle of the Atlantic, the Strategic Air War, and in preparations for the Normandy invasion. Thoroughly researched media elements immerse visitors in the WWII experience:
- An interactive map allows visitors to explore a month-by-month visual timeline of the Battle of the Atlantic, showing changing convoy routes, sinkings, air cover, and key events.
- Sitting in a recreated B-17 cockpit, visitors are immersed in an authentic bombing mission soundscape.
- A war department films compilation prepares American soldiers for living in a new culture: Great Britain.
- A phonograph plays a selection of archival music popular with the troops.
