Tank Museum

The author writes: Munster in my wife's sister Anna moved this year to her husband that there is now in its eighth year, is a nurse in the tank school of the Bundeswehr. We wanted to go to his service, and Basti offered to go to the local tank museum. "How, in this hole there is a tank museum?" - I caught fire. And, as it turns out, is not small. It presents the history of German armored vehicles from the first tank to the present day. As a person who grew up in Nazi Germany has conquered the Soviet Union, it seemed to me difficult to be surprised or admiring "the enemy" technique, but in fact there was all much easier. Although had to feel a little confused, standing in front of the German "Tiger", it is very ominous looking, this broneglyba, and grenades were not under rukoy.Vechnaya memory of all those who stood in the way of these monsters.
