Saw some of these German tanks on tours of Aberdeen Proving Ground during my 1961 or 1963 Engr EOOC school at Ft Belvoir, VA. Also demo of multi barreled Vulcan during one of these tours.

Abderdeen had a couple of Tigers, including a armor cutaway King Tiger that was eventually displayed at Knox.

The largest of the WWII German Tanks at Knox when I was there [1960s] was a Panther V. I had to go to Aberdeen and talk very nicely to Col. Jarrett to learn to drive *his* Tigers.

I think all those museum tanks that used to be at Knox are now at Benning. A guy I know here in ATL was one of the architects for the new museum at Benning (for the conceptual design phase). I haven’t been down there yet to see it, this has been in the last few years. I just looked up an old discussion about it, he said they were moving the tanks in 2010.
