Nice selection Gary. I see they've stuffed the Tiger in the shoe shop, instead of the Stug or whatever was there a few years ago. Nice displays.
 
I love the detail that is put into each display. They just do not place a vehicle or artillery piece behind a rope, each item on display is placed in a period correct scene, and all the figures in each scene are dressed in very authentic looking clothing. Great Stuff. That must be one hell of a museum. Think my favorite pic is the very last one. Gives you a feel for what some soldiers faced. I'd hate to be hiding on the inside a blown down house, with a Russian tank and crew a few feet away from me.
 
I believe the 'Tiger' is one built from a T34 for the movie 'Saving Private Ryan'. It might be fake, but it's convincing, and I think better inside the wrecked buidling, where the size difference isn't as noticeable, and forming a central part of a good, full sized diorama.
 
Every time I looks through these pics I notice more and more detail. Empty milk boxes underneath the jeep in the 3rd pic from the bottle. Amazing at the amount of detail that has gone into each display.
