Nice story...tell it to readers digest!!!
It is a nice museum. I am going to start a thread of it showing the pics I took. The museum also has a Concorde, Tu-144, 3 Ju-52s, Ju-87, Ju-88, Bf-109G-6, Fw-190A, original parts such as armoured plating and 15in cannon from the Tirpitz that were recovered when she was broken up, 2 Fiesler Storchs, He-111, tons of allied tanks, great Afrika Korps setting. It normally has a Tiger and a King Tiger as well but they are on loan and restoration respectively at the moment.
There are over 3000 exhibits at the museum.

Two questions.... One what is that tank in picture 7 from the top? Second, what's the deal with the gun malet on the 10th picture from the top? It looks like someone got an extra dose of iron in their diet! But yes, very good pictures.

Last night I watched this program on the history channel above these guys in Califoria rebuilding a German Panther tank. It was very cool program. It talked about in detail all that was good and bad about the mechanics of a Panther tank. Very very interesting. They almost had to rebuild the whole tank from scratch, it had been damaged very badly. Great show.
You would of liked it. Here is a tiny bit of information on it.

Good question. Looks like battle damage that has been highlighted with red paint...kinda like interior detail models. Strange.
