During the Second World War Maiden Newton was recognised as an important railhead for the D Day preparations. In recognition of this important role that Maiden Newton played during WW2 a group of local residents decided to put on an event in June 2008 called Maiden Newton at War. The event has been held every 2 years now.

Imperial War Museums (IWM) is a British national museum organisation with branches at five locations in England, three of which are in London.
Founded as the Imperial War Museum in 1917, the museum was intended to record the civil and military war effort and sacrifice of Britain and its Empire during the First World War.
The museum's remit has since expanded to include all conflicts in which British or Commonwealth forces have been involved since 1914. As of 2012, the museum aims 'to provide for, and to encourage, the study and understanding of the history of modern war and "wartime experience"'.
Originally housed in the Crystal Palace at Sydenham Hill, the museum opened to the public in 1920.
In 1924 the museum moved to space in the Imperial Institute in South Kensington, and finally in 1936 the museum acquired a permanent home which was previously the Bethlem Royal Hospital in Southwark.
The outbreak of the Second World War saw the museum expand both its collections and its terms of reference, but in the post-war period the museum entered a period of decline.
The 1960s saw the museum redevelop its Southwark building, now referred to as Imperial War Museum London, which serves as the organisation's corporate headquarters.
During the 1970s the museum began to expand onto other sites. The first, in 1976, was a historic airfield in Cambridgeshire now referred to as IWM Duxford.
In 1978 the Royal Navy cruiser HMS Belfast became a branch of the museum, having previously been preserved for the nation by a private trust.
In 1984 the Cabinet War Rooms, an underground wartime command centre, was opened to the public.
From the 1980s onwards the museum's Bethlem building underwent a series of multimillion-pound redevelopments, completed in 2000.
Finally, 2002 saw the opening of IWM North in Trafford, Greater Manchester, the fifth branch of the museum and the first in the north of England.
In 2011 the museum rebranded itself as IWM, standing for 'Imperial War Museums'.

Its crazy the way a camera can capture water, i love itt.
Local Nazis caused severe damages in the synagogue in November 1938. When seven years later the Nazis surrendered there were no more Jews in Hainsfarth and until today nothing has changed. The building was used as gymnasium of the local sports club or as storage room and there also was a plan to convert it into a church. However in early 1980s until 1996 the building was restored, paintings and also the inscriptions were recreated – certainly with good intent. Maybe this also applies to the architectural design of the former aron kodesh, which wasn’t restored “in order to leave a wound”, as Mr. Gerhard Wittig a member of the “Freundeskreis” who lives next to building explained us emphatically. The idea was not to make out that “nothing has happened”.
Since there are no Jews in Hainsfarth as well as there are no intentions to invite some of the many new Russian Jewish immigrants to live in Hainsfarth, that is not objectionable. If there are no Jews you also need no synagogue and hence no restored Torah ark, of course. On the other hand the same intention appears to be the last resort, the copestone of the past. So finally where once the Torah scrolls leaned against the wall, there now is a memorial plate in order to commemorate 20 Jewish “Mitbuerger” of Hainsfarth who between 1942 and 1945 in Theresienstadt (Terezín) “fell victim” to the “annihilation mania” (Vernichtungswahn) of the National socialists.

Im 15./17. Jahrhundert wird jeweils ein Betsaal in einem der jüdischen Häuser vorhanden gewesen sein. Noch vor dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg wird ein sogenannten "Freihaus" erwähnt, worin sich die Hainsfarther Juden zu Gebet und Gottesdienst trafen. 1710 wurde eine Synagoge auf einem Grundstück erbaut, das schon lange in jüdischem Besitz war. Ein hier stehendes Haus hatte 1616 Xander von Wassertrüdingen für 500 Gulden gekauft. Diese 1710 erbaute Synagoge wurde 1810 erneuert. Neben ihr wurde 1811 für 1.600 Gulden ein Haus für den Vorsänger erbaut. Da die alte Synagoge "ganz ruiniert" war, wurde 1857 mit einem Neubau begonnen. Mit den Bauarbeiten wurde der Maurermeister Johann Michael Meyer aus dem nahen Ostheim beauftragt. Die Synagoge wurde in neu-islamischem (maurischem) Baustil erstellt. Zahlreiche Parallelen zu der wenige Jahre zuvor in Heidenheim am Hahnenkamm erbauten Synagoge lassen sich erkennen. Die Ausmalung hatte ihr Vorbild in der Ludwigskirche in München (Ludwigstrasse). Die Einweihungsfeier der Synagoge war am 24. August 1860. In der Hainsfarther Synagoge wurden für 108 Männer und 102 Frauen Plätze eingerichtet.
