There are dioramas with groupings of equipment set against a painted backdrop. I found a Cromwell tank abandoned by the 15th/19th Hussars, my uncle's regiment, probably lost in the same offensive in October 1944 that took his life nearby. As is a restaurant / cafeteria, that had excellent schnitzel on the menu.Īs others have noted, the display of restored equipment here is big, amazing, and has material you don't find elsewhere.

A Hetzer, half an Mig 21 pasted to the wall and its engine underneath it. Highlights include an M4/A3, a M36 Jackson, what I believe was an M36 Chafee.
