gerard Posted March 29 Share #1 Posted March 29 The Park France military museum is a museum dedicated to the Second World War located in La Wantzenau in Alsace. This museum brings together the collection of its founder, Éric Kauffmann, one of the most important in Europe, and the Sussex 1944 collection. The museum opened its doors on March 1, 2017, more than 7 years after the launch of the project initiated by Éric Kauffmann. The latter, who bought the building in 2010, wanted to bring his collection together in one place. He started it in barns and abandoned houses, then traveled around the world, from the United States to Russia to bring back a Soviet tank. After 20 years spent collecting all these rare objects, he now offers his collection to the general public in this park which is intended to be fun and educational. The MM Park France is, with its 7,000 m2, one of the largest museums in Europe dedicated to the Second World War. On the ground floor there are two large exhibition halls including vehicles.

Persian Gulf Command Posted March 29 Share #15 Posted March 29 WoW! What a great Museum! I am so happy that these places are becoming recognized in Europe, after all these years. Let's face it, most of the stuff that interests us about the ETO is still on the European Continent. Gerard, thank you for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
