Went to the National Museum of Korea yesterday. Frankly, I learned more at the War Museum yesterday. But we did learn a few things and saw a bunch of artifacts. The green helmet was won at the 1936 Olympics by a Korean who was forced to run for Japan, since Japan was occupying Korea at the time. The marathon was one of the premier sports at those Olympics and Hitler declared that whomever won would get a metal and this helmet, which came from Olympia, Greece. But because this Korean was considered an “amateur” he wasn’t given the helmet and the helmet stayed in Germany. In 1994, Germany finally awarded it to the man who won. That man donated it to the Museum because he considered it to be for “all the Korean people.” -J 🇰🇷
