.

The museum at the Berlin-Gatow airfield (formerly the Air Force Museum) is a branch of the Military History Museum of the Bundeswehr in Dresden. While a general cultural history of violence is told there, the Berlin museum focuses on aerial warfare as the most recent form of military violence. The history of technology is understood as part of cultural history and the focus is on people in their various roles.
