Schweizerisches Militärmuseum Full


The Schweizerisches Militärmuseum in Full visited in July 2007

The Museum has a large collection of vehicles and weapons. Lots of it is post war. Here I show part of the German WWII stuff. I decided to show only a few photos and place them in high resolution.

The Tiger II may look nice on the outside now, but inside it's still a mess. It is scheduled for full restoration starting end 2007. The vehicle will be restored into running order! They estimate the restoration will take about three years. Having seen the rest of the collection, I am confident this vehicle will be near perfect when finished.

Visit the museum website here

Visit their King Tiger page (In German) here
For those of us who don't understand the German language, here is the general idea of those pages:
The restoration project is very expensive and the museum still needs sponsors. The more you sponsor, the more you get involved in the project. When you pay 5000 Swiss Francs, which is about 3060 Euros, You even get to ride on the Tiger when it is finished!
