Gian Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi Commanders I am back after the fastest two weeks ever!!!!! I did manage to get to Bremerhaven for the XXI U-Boat and the Munster Panzer Museum. I didn't have that much time at the Panzer Museum so I only focused on my interests of WW2. Here are the pics http://mitglied.lycos.de/anonym80/Gian/pictures http://www.dutchsubmarines.com/hosting/images/other/xxi.htm Did I miss anything important?

MikeyD Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I was more than a little surprised to see the Sturmtiger in there. I had no idea one was still in existance! Nice shots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice shots. Not to hijack the thread or anything, but I have some shots of one of only two Wirblewinds left intact in the world today. It is in the Worthington Tank Park at Canadian Forces Base Borden, just north of where I live. It has some nasty AT gashes in it. If anyone is interested I can try to post them. I sent them to Warphead, oh, probably a year or so ago. There is also a Panther, Stuart, Sherman, Centurion and a few others my work- and cold-addled brain can't dredge up right now. Cheers, Jason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noiseman Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Great pics, I didn't realize there were so many German tanks left in such good condition. The only ones I've seen are the ones at the Aberdeen Proving grounds museum in Maryland, and they were allowed to rust away outdoors for many years, a true shame. It's funny how different the tanks look in photographs taken today when compared to historical photos. Thanks again for posting them! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice shots. If I'm not mistaken, this is the one from the Sinsheim museum, but I couldn't check as the lycos link didn't work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtMuhammed Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Well just made the pilgrimage to Munster. Awesome museum (well worth the 5 hour drive (both ways)). Two notes: 1. When you look at the ST up close it looks rather crudely put together. Lots of barely finished surfaces and such. The Tiger and King Tiger look nice and the Panther is beautiful. The Jagdpanther with the 57mm penetration in the gun mantel is neat as well as are all the modern vehicles. 2. The giftshop sucks. Hardly any selection and the prices are outrageous. Couple of interesting notes from the Kursk display: 2SS Panzer Korps is listed as operating 11 T34s towards the end of the battle (sorry forget the exact date) and 503rd sPz is listed as having 45 Tigers on 1 July of which 40 were runners. On 13 July they had 35 with 9 runners and 26 in the shop. 10 are either destroyed or were lost when the report was printed. If you are in the area I really recomend stopping in to see the museum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
