초록

본 연구의 목적은 제2차 세계대전에 참전하였던 미국, 소련, 그리고 독일이 만든 전쟁메모리얼에 나타난 국가적 기념성을 밝히기 위한 것으로, 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 미국, 소련, 독일의 제2차 세계대전 전쟁메모리얼은 전사자 및 희생자 추모를 기본적 목적으로 조성되었다. 국가별로 미국은 자유를 위한 대의명분을 나타내며 단결과 승리를 고양하였고, 공산주의 국가 소련은 파시스트 나치 독일을 물리친 대조국전쟁을 강조하였다. 반면 국가적 기념이 어려웠던 독일은 전쟁 희생자를 추모하고 평화를 지향하였다. 둘째, 제2차 세계대전 메모리얼은 국가의 대표적 장소나 전적지 등 장소적 의미가 있는 곳에 입지하였고 독일에서는 교회묘지나 공공묘지에 조성되기도 하였다. 아울러, 메모리얼의 공간 중심축을 대칭을 이루고 정형적인 형태로서 간결하고 절제된 미적 특성을 보여주었다. 셋째, 미국과 소련은 공통적으로 기념벽에 전쟁의 모습을 시각적으로 표현하면서, 미국은 자유를 위한 희생과 헌신, 소련 및 동독은 공산주의 이념을 선전하는 메시지를 각각 다르게 기념적 텍스트로 나타냈다. 국가별로 미국은 국가를 상징하는 독수리, 각 주 및 영토를 나타내는 열주 등을 통하여 국가적 일체감을 강조하였고, 소련은 공산주의 양식의 군인 조각을 세웠다. 미국 및 소련에서는 공통적으로 승리를 상징하는 기념조각과 월계수를 사용하였지만, 독일에서는 전사한 군인조각을 세워서 전몰자를 추모하였다. 정치적으로 미국은 단결과 승리의 고양, 소련은 대조국전쟁의 승리와 공산주의의 선전, 그리고 독일은 화해와 평화를 추구하였으며, 종교적 측면에서는 미국, 소련, 독일 모두 기독교가 보편적 종교이기 때문에 십자가, 교회, 에비타 조각상 등 기독교적 상징을 다수 도입하는 기념문화적 특성을 보여주었다. 향후, 우리나라의 전쟁메모리얼에서 국가적 기념성과 기념문화를 정립하기 위한 연구가 필요하다.

This study aimed to analyze the commemoration characteristics of the national war memorials made by the United States, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics(the Soviet Union), and Germany that participated in World War II(WW II). The results of the study are summarized as follows. First, the creation of the WW II memorials of the United States, the Soviet Union, and Germany aimed to commemorate the dead and victims. By country, the United States promoted unity and victory with representing the just and great cause for freedom, and the communist Soviet Union emphasized the Great Patriotic War that defeated fascist Nazi Germany. On the other hand, Germany, which had difficulty in national commemoration, cherish the victims of the war and aimed for peace. Second, WW II memorials were located in places of national significance such as national representative places and battlefields, and in Germany they were built in church cemeteries and public cemeteries. In addition, it showed concise and moderate aesthetic characteristics with a symmetrical and formal form centered on the axis of space in memorials. Third, the United States and the Soviet Union commonly visualized the appearance of war on the memorial wall. By country, the United States engraved sacrifice and dedication for freedom, and differently the Soviet Union and East Germany engraved messages promoting communist ideology as memorial texts. As for landscape details and sculpture, the United States emphasized national unity through eagles symbolizing the country and a colonnade representing each state and territory, and the Soviet Union set up a communist-style soldier sculpture. The United States and the Soviet Union, both countries used sculptures and laurels that symbolize victory, but in Germany, the statues of a fallen soldiers were installed in the memorial. Politically, the United States commemorated the victory of the war and also promoted unity, and the Soviet Union emphasized the Great Patriotic War and promoted communism. As the United States, the Soviet Union, and the Germans believed in Christianity universally, Christian symbols such as the crucifixion, the church, and the statue of Evita were often used. Further study will be required to establish national identity at memorials and advanced commemorative culture in Korea.
