Next, a Rhinosauerus (I really should take pictures of the plaque when I can't spell it)

The Germans called it the Nashorn.

Dylan's favorite tank. No plaque but I think it is Italian according to the wording on it. What in the world is it???

Italian Semovente "assault gun" with a 47mm/32 gun.

That's all for this trip. I do have other pictures from my trip 2 years ago, but this covered the vast majority of the AFV's. There is a lot of artillery as you can see in the background, but by the time we hit that area Dylan and I were quite willing to just take a quick look as we passed by. Inside is a large display of infantry weapons, rifles, smg's, mortars, etc.

Very interesting place. Well worth a visit. Hope you enjoyed the pictures, and thanks for the replies to my "watizzit's".

Edit: I did go thru the Patton museum, but that was back in the mid-70's. I plan on getting out and seeing a lot of the sights and museums. Have toured the Lexington in Corpus Cristi, Texas, the Yorktown, Laffey and a sub in Charleston, South Carolina, and of course the Missouri back in 69 before they moderized her. That was in Bremerton, Washington, and they still had several gun cruisers and such there, but not open for tours. Toured most of the major Civil War battlefields while stationed at Quantico, Virginia in the 70's and during cross-country trips.

Still, so much to see.

Looks like a place you could spend several days at. Thanks for sharing.[8D]

They still have the twin 88's, but I didn't get a picture as I was getting low on photostick memory...might find it in the background of some of the shots tho. They still have the MK III open. It looks like I have to buy a photo editing program, as the one provided by microsoft only provides for cropping and I have to crop off too much of the picture. I need to resize them to get them under the 200k limit. More after a shopping trip.

You don't have to buy software. [;)] Just try www.download.com

My favourite is irfanview. Free of charge of course.

I use Infaview for some things, but for batch resizing of pictures, the best I've found is PicSizer: http://www.axiomx.com/picsizer.htm

My father gave me a Nikon D70, which is a fantastic camera, but the smallest picture it will take is still too large for most online like Ebay or posting here. I launch Picsizer and just let it do its thing on a folder.

German Self Propelled Artillery

The vehicle behind the Brummbär is my favourite stupid vehicle of WWII. It's a German Jagdpanzer (I forget the name), but notice the crane along the side of its hull? It was intended to detach its turret and place it on a prepared concrete pillbox! I wish I was kidding...[8|]

That's a German Ferdinand.

Wasn't this also called the Elefant? That just looked too new and in too good of shape to be one of the German AFV's. That's as good a find as the JagdTiger is.
