    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    From the trip to Russia One of the many outdoor museums Lots of second war equipment on display, here you see a T 34 and an small APC btw on the way into the country they had a section in the customs form for listing weapons and ammo .... including a section for fully automatic. I saw a couple of AK47 and machine guns being inspected ... all were riding in the checked luggage !!!

    Comments welcome and much appreciated

    The T34 had more fire power/ hitting power than the german panzers. Another one of my passions - history of WW II. Thanks for sharing Al.

    Oh yes, the King Tiger. Truly a piece of engineering worthy of the name.
