Normandy Tank Museum Closed--Unbelievable Auction Items!


Recommended Posts

French taxes on private museums, don't you know. kinophile posted this over on CMFB, but I thought it very much worth cross posting here. The items available are not only mind-boggling for what they are, but all were used on D-Day or shortly after! And did I mention all the vehicles are driveable? Have also added the impressive, even if not a Francophone, auction catalog.

Judging from the auction catalog, some of the major stuff was sold off privately, but what remains is still astounding. Guess the Tiger 1 in the video was borrowed from Saumur? I have deliberately broken the URL, just to be safe.
