I loved tanks since I was a very little boy and dad took me to the warfare museum and I saw a tank for the first time. Unfortunately it was a post communistic museum and only Russian stuff was on the view.
Now that museum has some wwII german stuff (some KingTiger parts, complete StugIII G, hull of a Panther D and hull of Jagdpanzer IV). It's a real shame, that after the war ended almost every german tank was melt in the steelworks. I wish I could see a real Tiger tank in my life.
For me a tank is symbol of power, destruction, and in some cases invulnerabity.
