Frederick, Thanks for the photos. I went to this museum several years ago and was amazed by the variety of countries represented. In addition to the French vehicles there were Italian, British, German and US vehicles. There was a Dragon Wagon there and a P-51 Mustang hanging from the ceiling. There were also 1/35 dioramas depicting some of the battles. The National Military History Museum is a must for Modelers and historians alike. It's only about 20 miles south of I-80 in Auburn, Indiana. Not very far from the Ohio state line.

Great photos.If you want to see any of the rare stuff it has to be soon, as on Dec 1st much of it will be auctioned off to pay the tax debt owed by D.Kruse to the feds.

A recent newspaper update stated 180 odd lots would be auctioned off. Hope the stuff goes to good homes where they can be seen.
