Military museum in Diekirch : picture-report

[Jan B]

Hello to all

I visited this museum yesterday together with my nephew (member Stijn C.), who is mainly an US airborne-collection. It was my first time and I was impressed by the displays. Although I would not put this museum on top of my list when it comes to german uniforms and headgear, the vehicle collection is nice as well as the diorama's.

I have many pictures, but due to the bad lightning I have to select only the best ones.

Cheers
Jan


A Sherman-type tank at the entrance. I was told by my nephew that this was a post-war one (something with different model of wheels/tracks??)

14 Another Sanit******228;ter (with bogus helmet). Note the medical rugsack (not a backpack!!) hanging above him...one of the very few that still exist IMO.
