Vic,

Thanks for sharing. Those are great pictures. Got any more ?

Dave

Dave;
I took so many there at Munster. I tried to take
detail pics that may be of interest to modelers and researchers rather than just the front of tanks. It was a wonderful day. It is a fantastic museum. They have a great section on uniforms.
Our guide told us the Germans kept making the same mistake with their Panzers----bigger, bigger, instead of building 4 times as many. He had a model of the mouse there, I think 2 are in Russia. He also said that the Germans had a giant panzer on the drawing board with treads 15 feet wide.

I also spent a day at Laboe with the U 995 and took tons of pics there. It was neat as we were looking at the U 995 right out of Kiel harbor comes one of Germanys top secret "noiseless" U Boots right by us!

Do you have Pictures of that monster Tiger with the 380mm gun ? I think it was called a StirnPanzer (??)

Dave

Dave, the only monster gun I remember I have posted. Here is a pic of the "Mouse"

Excellent pics Vic & thanks for showing them all.
That museum sure looks like it`s one for the list if anyone is planning a trip.

here is a link if anyone would like some info

Panzer Museum

I would be especially interested to see any U boot pics you took as well. Are you able to get aboard? I doubt it somehow but just had to ask

Vaughan:
I have a complete series of pic inside the U 995 as well as the Navy Memorial at Laboe including the underground section.

I will post under a separate heading, it will be a few days.

Nice pics...Thanks for sharing them.Gives a good view of the Colors used and its nice to see some wild camo patterns...Nice Job : )

Hi Vicdiel

Can you give me the adress of the museum so that i can visit the museum?

It is in Munster and located right next to the Panzer training school. A good web site has been posted above. A great museum.

Great pics. I have always wanted to go there and the Saumer museum in France. I am not sure but I think Saumer has the only operational King Tiger left in the world.

Awesome photo layout Vic, thanks for taking the time. JohnJ

I ran into this, I hope it works for you the running motor of the King Tiger at Saumur Museum in France

Guys,

Bovington Tank Museum in Dorset has a King Tiger amongst hundreds of other tanks.

Recognised as the greatest collection of fighting vehicles in the world!

This is a fantastic museum to visit but you need a whole day to take it all in. Not just tanks but hundreds of other track type fighting vehicles. WW1 Trench, artefacts, memorabilia etc. and sure is bewildering and has interactive stands also. Well worth a visit.

Here are a few threads:

PS - On this thread, scroll down for the King Tiger:

While we are talking tigers here is the one in Vimoutiers, France.

http://web.ukonline.co.uk/gaz/vt.html

Just got back from Normandy France, I slipped over to Vimoutiers to take a few shots of their Tiger. I have some High resolution shots of the entire Tiger, if you want a copy send me your email address. I shot a lot of detail pics but most of them are already seen above. Neat area of France and it is nice that the Tiger is still in the battle area, but it needs to be under roof badly.

Very nice photos. I have been to that museum a few times myself and I allways enjoy it. Touching zimmerit is as exciting every time. I can also recomend anyone driving thru Belgium a stop in La Gleize to check out the King Tiger and the small museum there. They have some pretty neat dioramas.

To those planning to visit the museum, make sure you go to Munster and not Münster, in Westphalia.
It happens all the time.
