This is very nice place. It is a lot of models of historical vehicles in this museum. Also it is a lot of models of any kind of military things. It was very exciting time while I visited this place. I spent a couple hours for exploring this museum. This is very nice atmosphere in this place and very good personal who work there. Thank you guys for this opportunity to dive back in the history of our grandparents and how they did this victory for their grandchildren.

Wonderful museum; nicely laid out in chronological order. Full of personal artifacts that show individual contributions and sacrifice. Unique opportunity to get very close to equipment that you only see on film or photos. This is a must see for anyone interested in WW2 history.
