Post; Museums with Axis equipment


I'm compiling information on museums with Axis WW2 equipment on my site, the Axis History Factbook, and I'd appreciate any help with additions (text or photos) or corrections to the material.

The museums section can be found at http://www.axishistory.com/index.php?id=56

(I hope you don't mind me posting it here)

Thanks.

There are several New Zealand museums with small Axis collections (one of which has that nifty little motorcycle halftrack) however I am assuming you are only looking for German items or Japanese as well.

MontyB,

I'm interested in museums with equipment from any of the Axis nations, so those are definately of interest.

Those Museums are quite hard to find actually. Many of the equipments were destroyed and melted down while the rest of the pieces are considered rare and valuable today.

Very interesting link though

Hope I can go to see
