Photos Technik Museum Sinsheim

[Adamicz]

Technology museum in south-western part of Germany. Museum itself is dedicated mainly to cars, bikes and planes, but has a really interesting and quite big military related part of exhibition as well, which I'm posting here. When visiting, one just have to beware of inaccurate descriptions of some of the exhibited pieces or rather that museum in some cases withholds the fact that they are displaying different versions of the vehicle. I have no problem when museums disguise post-war variants or licence-built modifications as WWII-era example of the original, but IMHO they should acknowledge this at the description sings. Sadly, this is quite widespread problem in military museums worldwide.

Ferret Mk.II (no, this type of vehicle from the 50s has nothing to do with WWII African campaign )

Bren Carrier (Universal Carrier)

G-13 (post-war manufactured Hetzer) disguised as WWII era Hetzer

Nice pictures!
Sinsheim is an absolute treasure trove, well worth a visit. Amongst other gems, they have both a Concorde and a Tu-144 standing side-by-side.

what is destroyed around near a barrel?

This Jagdpanther comes from a fire range in Germany where it was used as a target so it was heavily damaged, thus the missing part you see on the gun's mantlet. So part of the vehicle is original, something comes from Panther parts found on scrapyard and the rest is replica.
