I’ve been to the Bastogne Barracks the week before Nuts day. Pretty nice museum they have there :) It still is a military base with about 85 soldiers who are still there, they repair and maintain the vehicles and also make sure that everything on display is clean and in good shape.
Next year I will go back to this museum with Nuts day, they try to get a Tiger I for that special 70 year anniversary! So if you can you should go next year, or just pay a visit to this nice museum.

I love events like this but I always hate it when I see period costumed persons using modern camera equipment and stuff like that.
and either my recollection of how large a Daimler Dingo was is off and it is a LOT smaller than I remember or that driver has a serious pie-habit.

Tank is already in game, but it has a 6 pounder mounted on top, it’s a tier III french TD.

That museum is so awesome! I have been there IRL, in summer at least, entry is free. If you speak Dutch and if your guide is an elder man, you will have fun, because he tries speaking Dutch with a French accent. Like, the response of general McAuliffe to the Germans wanting him to surrender ‘Núts’. Very funny, but the interesting part is the last bit, a whole garage full of vehicles, somehow, even an IS-3. Very interesting museum, I recommend it.

Jesus, what have they been doing with that Patton? Or rather… what have they not been doing? It sounds like the tracks haven’t seen oil since Vietnam…
