Korean War Display, National Museum of Military Vehicles


The Korean War has always had a special fascination for me, as my father was a Korean War veteran.



The T-34/85 is the tank we normally think of when we think of the T-34.  One of the greatest tanks of all time, it was the best tank of the Second World War.

US and German, Mid Winter 44/45 Display. National Museum of Military Vehicles.


 

Jagdpanzer 38 German tank destroyer, built on the Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis.  A classic German tank destroyer, it set the pattern for the German approach to this class of armor as well as for German infantry assault guns.  These remained in production in Czechoslovakia after the war.






Pz. kpfw. III ausf. N, a predecessor to the Panzerkampfwagen IV (Pz.Kpfw. IV), the real German workhorse of the Second World War.  These tanks, far more than any other German tank, were the German tank of the Second World War.  They came in a various forms, like the Sherman.
