Seodaemun Prison, Korea
Norway (Bergenhus Festningsmuseum,
Bergenhus Festning Museum)
A museum in Bergen is about the time of WWII and the resistance movement during the occupation of Norway by Germany. During World War II, the German Navy used several buildings for its headquarters. The Rosencrantz Tower had a German wireless network. One of the worst events of World War II took place at the foot of the Rosencrantz Tower. On the morning of April 20, 1944, a ship carrying 100 tons of explosives exploded due to a mistake during welding. Because there was no warning, there were many casualties off the coast of Bogeen. Iron from the ship and stones torn from the docks blew the whole neighborhood away. The explosion in Bergen was one of the largest war-torn villages in southern Norway.
The museum is the one about Norwegian Resistance as such, but other parts go beyond this, starting on the ground floor, which has a small exhibition about the role of women in Norwegian military history.
The brutal incident was ended by Hugh Tomson, the U.S. army helicopter pilot. While he was flying over Son My, his crew saw unarmed women being shot and groups of people forced to get into a bunker to be massacred. Immediately, Tomson and his crew requested help for the wounded through radio and landed between soldiers and innocent villagers, threatening to open fire if they continued the violence. The helicopter crew carried out the bodies with their aircrafts, as well as the survivors trapped between the corpses.
Although the brutal incident was publicized, of the one-hundred Charlie Company soldiers who participated in the slaughter, only twenty-six were found involved in the massacre and one was found legally convicted.
The May Lai massacre memorial is located in Son My, Vietnam to commemorate innocent victims of the My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War. It was one of the most horrible and cruel massacres that happened to unarmed civilians during the Vietnam War, perhaps in the entire history of humanity. There are over five hundred names on the walls of the memorial and sculptures commemorating the victims.
