Title
Great Lakes Museum of Military History
Description
Although the Museum has many items of military memorabilia that have been donated, some are of significant historical value. They include:
Two original seating charts used at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials by a guard to seat those Germans being tried. We also have this same guard’s uniform on display. (One copy of the program is on loan to a Holocaust museum.) Also, on permanent loan from the Mansfield Collection is an original Declaration of War from Japan on the United States and Great Britain. It was one of only fifty sent to diplomatic corps members and attaches.
The original postal cancellations stamp for VJ Day (September 2, 1945) from General McArthur’s headquarters in Yokohama, Japan. (This was recently featured in Reminisce magazine.)
