I remember seeing that tiger II Back in 06 when i went. They had it sitting right before an opening into another room. On the right you had a line of shermans,m3s,jeeps,m8s, smaller vehicles that i was looking at.
Then i turn my head and theirs this Behemoth Just sitting their. I remember putting my face up to the plexiglass so i could get a good view inside. They had manicuns In all the tanks positions when i saw it. I remember Cussing at them in my mind because they blocked some of the view of the tank lol. It also Had a really cool ratpack-style jeep sitting next to it that help put into purspective how big the TigerII was.
Idk who i talked to, But i remember A museum employee Showing us around the Patton exhibit part of the museum. When he was done i walked up and apologized to him for the discrase i had seen outside.
The Patton museum had a wonderful display of many tanks outside. I believe they have the only T28 in the world which was displayed. The thing i apologized to him for tho, Was that Kids had taken it upon themselves to spraypaint all over the tanks. There were gang signs, Names, Pictures, And some just looked like ppl tried to fingerpaint on them. It was truly a sad sight to see such historic tanks degraded like that.
The t28
Pattons Revolver
I had taken pictures of the tiger II, but sadly the disk i had the pictures stored on snapped in half on an accident while comeing home.
I heard most of the Patton museum was losing its tank collection to the new tank&armor museum thats now opening. Any truth to that?
