Summary edit

Description
English: A diorama titled The Battle of Berlin showcased at the Arquebus War History Museum (Norwegian: Arquebus Krigshistorisk Museum) in Førre, Norway. This exhibition portrays a World War II scene within an urban setting in Berlin in 1945, featuring realistic depictions of ruins with bricks and debris. The display includes mannequins adorned in uniforms, accompanied by weapons, military equipment, and other artifacts representing the armed forces and defence of Nazi Germany (Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS, etc.) and the military forces of the Soviet Union (the Red Army). Notably, the diorama incorporates two Russian T-34 tanks into its recreation.

The picture shows, among other things:

  • German uniforms of the Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS, Allgemeine-SS, Luftschutz and Ordnungspolizei.
  • German stick hand grenades (Stielhandgranate), Panzerfaust anti-tank weapons, ammunition boxes, field telephones (Feldfernsprecher 33), mines, gasoline cans, a bicycle, etc.
  • 10.5 cm leFH 18 (leichte FeldHaubitze, "light field howitzer") with shield and split trail gun carriage
  • WWII German Wehrmacht Scherenfernrohr, "scissor telescope", also called "rabbit ear stereoscopic periscope binoculars", "donkey's ears", twin-telescope, and Relieffernrohr.
  • PM M1910 (Pulyemyot Maksima, "Maxim's machine gun" Model 1910), a Russian heavy machine gun.
  • WWII Soviet Red Army Medium Tank T-34 (T-34-85 Ural Tank Factory No. 183); The redesigned T-34/85 introduced in 1944 was equipped with an 85-millimeter cannon, had a crew of five and weighed 32 tons. During World War II, "ПОБЕДА" ('VICTORY') was a significant term associated with the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany, often inscribed on the tanks.
  • The slogan Berlin bleibt deutsch ("Berlin remains German") painted as graffiti on the wall and a small sign reading Öffentlicher Luftschutzraum ("Public Air Raid Shelter")
  • Period-appropriate civilian clothing.
etc.

The Arquebus War Museum primarily highlights the German occupation of Norway during the Second World War from 1940 to 1945, featuring exhibits on war actions and daily life. The museum, 10 km east of Haugesund, offers the visitors a portrayal of the German attack and the five-year occupation with 6,000 artifacts on 1,500 square meters.

The Berlin diorama is part of the Victory in Europe exhibition opened in 2005 by the late Tom Wheatcroft (1922–2009), a British war veteran and collector. The exhibitions were created through a collaboration between the museum and the Wheatcroft Collection of Kevin Wheatcroft (born 1959). The displayed items include historical artifacts from the war, as well as replicas. The exhibition broadens the perspective on the continental war and the conclusion of World War II in Europe.
