Joris Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 This Sunday we visited the liberty park museum in Overloon where a large number of German vehicles were on display. Better then that, they drove around! Below are some of the pics I took: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earlymb Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I also went to this great event, as a crewmember with the Crompton Military Vehicle Collection. The CMVC displayed a Hetzer (an original 1944 SdKfz.138/2, not a G13), SdKfz.250 'neue', SdKfz.251/D, SdKfz.7 (cargo) 8-ton and a Schwimmwagen. In all around 30 vehicles attended, and most were available to take passengers around the track for a small fee. Lots of people used this opportunity, and there are many pictures and vids posted on the internet (like here: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=militracks&aq=f) The track in the museum park was about 1 mile in lenght and completely unpaved, with even some more serious off-road bits. Getting the Hetzer around without too much damage to the trees was quite a job, so we put the Schwimmwagen in front with someone on the back to guide the Hetzer's driver on each round. It was a busy weekend with 4800 visitors and great weather. I also drove a lot in the vehicles. Time will tell, but there is a good chance this event will be organized again next year, around the same time. My own pictures of this event: Greetz David PS I am in the last picture posted by Joris, as the Hetzer commander with the khaki cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25 pounder Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Very impressive indeed , a true shame the decision was made to scrap most of the German vehicles after the war, despite the very good condition most of them were in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
