USA - Ohio


This is a postcard of a display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force.  The image shows two mannequins holding a German or East German flag as one stands atop four pieces of the Berlin Wall and the other one stands atop a Trabant

The display is meant to represent the end of the museum's Cold War exhibit and, according to the card "serves as a tangible reminder of the triumph of democracy and freedom over communism."  

Ever since learning about the Trabant cars, I've loved them, despite all of their faults (such as being slow, poorly constructed, etc.)  

Oddly, this exhibit has only been on display one or two times that I've been at the museum.
