The museums section can be found at http://www.axishistory.com/index.php?id=56 Thanks. (I hope Victor & Co don't mind me posting this here) /Marcus marcus@skalman.nu

By the way, Romania was one of the main players in Axis for 3 years and 2 months. Regarding German equipment, inside the building there is a little section with captured German portable equipment, like several types of rocket propelled grenades. Also, among others, there are control instruments from the Tirpitz battery installed in Dobrogea. Outdoors, in the military park, I guess should be also some bigger stuff.

Reportedly, this particular exhibit is one of the very few surviving original units. My first impression when I saw the Hetzer among the other tanks was: "man, it is SMALL!" To illustrate this, I placed the photographer nearby the exhibit. Gen. Dénes

Guys, it's a trick.

The photographer is a big guy (2,50m tall )

that why the Hetzer looks small

How is it possible that the photographer was not behind the camera?

Dénes, is this an original ex-german Hetzer or it is an ex-swiss one?

BTW, nice beard...
