COOL!!!! Someday I hope to see that museum!! We always hit the Air museums, but I've never been to a tank museum!!
He said that Patton before he died sent back a large amount of German weapons.. including tanks, rifles, anti tank and artillery pieces. They are all on display as well as all the weapons and uniforms used by the 3rd Army in WWII. Patton wanted to have our troops use them. He felt we could learn from using other nations weapons... both what to do and what not to do in weapon design.
In addition there are American and Russian tanks and anti tank weapons from Korea to the present day.
They had just brought back from Iraq a Russian T-72 tank. The Iraqi's had rerouted the exhaust from the rear of the tank to the front so the exhaust would not blow up sand and give the tanks position away.
With with the warthogs and infrared.. there is no way for a Russian tank to hide in Iraq.
The Marine made the case that much of what Patton did with tanks was very similar to what Stonewall Jackson did with Cavalry in the Civil War. The Marine used a sand table to show the similarity of what Patton did in France to what Stonewall did in Virginia. It was quite interesting.
The Patton Museum is not nearly as big as the Air Force Museum.. but it is very interesting.
I think you would enjoy it.
