I've been to this museum a few times now and it's just great! Every time again I'm speechless by all that is shown there

And this is what's on display!!, in storage the have even more rare and "exotic" items. In the book Deutschland Erwache about the history of the D.E. standards/finials, is the story of how the original Fuhrer standard that goes with the famous A.H. D.E pole/finial was discovered in the archives of the museum in the early 1990's.Originally posted by Marcel Banziger View PostAnd the picture doesn't even show everything in that display....hundreds and hundres more of these beauties there

Many moons ago , their displays were much better. they now have a focus on russian military history as a whole. so a lot of the third reich items were removed. AND the items they had "stored away" is mostly gone. most of it sold out the back door in the 1980s / 90s.
I won't name which dealer..... but , this guy was among the thieves. he would buy 3 semi trailers full of stuff & send them into 3 diffrent directions. some times all 3 made it over the check points, ussually only 2 made it out. some guards you just can't bribe !! then their was getting the drivers back out of the country , after being caught.....
bear in mind, all of this was concidered state property.
the iron cross display ,originally was huge ! JUST iron crosses up to youre eye balls.

Some time ago, I went to the memorial museum of German anti-fascists in Krasnogorsk and made there a few photos. Unfortunately their quality (because of the lighting in the museum and the low quality camera) is quite low. In one here as an example. If interested I can put other photos.
