I was in Saumur 2years ago, and they said that french’s resistance put some sand on the steal, in factories, in order to produce weaker armor for the German army.

This is true. Still, wouldn’t be cheap and effective to just put a tarp over it?

It was knocked out and captured in late 1944~early 1945.
Some says it was by troops of the 1st French Army during the battle of the Colmar pocket, others that it was by the 2e DB in the Vosges.

The same vehicle during WW2, after its capture:

Don’t feel special, most of them are wrong. I mean they have it wrong for some where you just move the flag 90 degrees (Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland), never mind getting it wrong for the Czech flag with its special rule.

I think the lesson is if you don’t know how to hoist flag vertically don’t bother.

The Czech flag is wrong. Red colour should be on the right and white colour on the left.

Unless if you’re capable of solving Saumur’s (And most museums) financial issues there isn’t much they can do. They’re stressed for resources, and have to prioritize. If you can figure some way to make the bat chat their new top priority all power to you, but otherwise they can’t be criticized for the problems they have to confront.
