Program Description: The Minnesota Historical Society opened its "Minnesota's Greatest Generation" exhibition in May 2009. It takes visitors through the Depression, the War, and the Boom - the eras that defined the Greatest Generation. In the War section, the fuselage of a WWII-era C-47 provides the theater of an immersive multimedia installation: "This Must Be Hell." This short experience places visitors on the bench of the C-47, where they hear firsthand accounts from paratroopers of the training, the fear, and the D-Day jump on Normandy. (150-250 words)
