The first direction of my travel experience are the places of the Second World War of the “peace period”. They are, first of all, the historical parts of European cities associated with important events or personalities of European history. Walking towards the places of Adolf Hitler in Vienna and Munich, observing buildings from the time of the Third Reich in Nuremberg, walking the motorcade routes of high-ranking officials, halls for conferences and speeches, the graves of the field commanders or post-war museums. The topics of these articles reveal the story from a deeper perspective, offering a broader view of the people who initiated and maintained the war and those who participated in it by someone else's will. All sorts of World War II museums and memorials around the world present an endless interest for everyone interested.

Apart theme in my understanding is the places associated with the Holocaust and war crimes. Visiting former Nazi concentration camps in Germany, Holocaust death camps in Poland, places of mass executions in Ukraine, I do not limit myself to excerpts from books or informational booklets. The motivation for me is an attempt to understand a particular place, its history, and geography, including post-war events. Museums and memorial complexes serve as an aid for self-education in the subject of the Holocaust, offering us material evidence of the worst crime in history. Even where only grass, ruins and a memorial tablet remained from the former place of memory, you can find a reason to study history in an interesting way and share it with others.

Another direction of my travels are the ww2 battlefields today, military museums, monuments to soldiers and former military leaders, ww2 buildings today. In contrast to all sorts of tours, where the route is usually limited to a pair of mandatory points, I try to explore thoroughly the history and geography of each location, each of ww2 sites then and now. Present the scale of what happened, get acquainted with the preserved evidence, examine the maximum sources. Articles from such places arouse their strong interest in military history.

Best WW2 documentaries have been published for decades under the patronage and with the authoritative participation of such media giants as National Geographic, BBC, Discovery, History Channel, ZDF. Historians, journalists, photographers, voice actors, have made titanic work with restoration, competent processing and rethinking of hundreds of thousands of hours of military footage of the Second World War. Kilometers of films from trophy warehouses, personal collections, state archives, museums, ministries, photo shots became a part of a fascinating legacy, which allows attracting a wide audience to the topic. WW2 documentaries do not just show us the manned cadres on different topics, but holistic stories, with a storyline, off-screen commentaries, interviews with participants and witnesses of the war.

Documentary war movies are usually associated not only with film studios, television channels but also with well-known personalities, public figures, and popularizers of science. We all know historians such as Lawrence Rees, Guido Knopp, Claude Lanzmann, Isabelle Clarke and Daniel Costelle, Michael Clought. They cover a wide range of topics and issues. Full series about all stages and military campaigns. Documentaries about the Holocaust, which received the greatest distribution, since 1990-s. Covers more specific general social topics, such as the home front, mobilization of the civilian population, political organization of the participating countries. Whole cycles of themes World War II Documentary films dedicated to one particular (for example, Hitler, Mussolini, Roosevelt, Rommel, Churchill, Himmler, etc.) personality or some group (for example, the German field marshals, Japanese military cabinet).
