Overloon Military Museum

[Allen Dewire]

Morn all,

Me again with a load of pics I took at this wonderful museum in the Netherlands on 3 July. It was a side trip on Sunday after 2 days of the World Model Expo. It's located about 54 kms from Eindhoven and well worth visiting if you have a chance.

Like my posting of the show pics, I please ask that you wait until after I post them all to comment as I'm old and easily confused. Thanks and it should take about 6 hours to post them all. Here we go.............

The entrance sign outside the museum park,


Once inside,






A giant movie screen on the wall

Now if you look above, you will see a bridge with bike riders on it. As the museum is in a huge park, one can ride into this hall through sliding glass doors, have a look and then ride back out into the park from either direction. Cool idea and it's free too......

The next set of pictures are very moving and in 1 to 1 scale,






All the salvaged parts were meticulously build into this huge display..........
As you exit the hall you have these large panels telling the WWII story,





On the way out, there is a small hall telling this story,

Outside in the park are some examples of bunkers and OPs used back then,








And lastly, a few pics for my good buddy Dude 2,






So that's all folks!!! Sorry it took so long and I do hope you enjoy them as much as I had (trying) to take them...........

Prost
