There are some 40 World War Two era German tanks at the museum, as well as an array of small arms, military uniforms, equipment and medals. The core of the museum’s exhibits, though, are its German tanks and armoured vehicles. Among the organisation’s vehicles are a Swedish Stridsvagn m/21-29, a modern Merkava from Israel and a whole host of tanks from the United States, the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom.
Today, the German Tank Museum in Munster features a large and varied collection of tanks. In 2003 the museum expanded again, opening a shop and café on site.
Automobile manufacturers such as General Motors and Chrysler used their experience with mass production to quickly build tanks. This extensive array of artefacts was later turned into an eductional and interactive museum and opened to the public. By February 1942, American civilian automobile factories only made weapons and military vehicles.
It dates back to 1983, when the German Army’s training school began compiling a collection of its vehicles and artefacts. The German Tank Museum, or Deutsches Panzermuseum Munster, is situated on the east German military camp of Munster (not, confusingly, the popular city of Münster in western Germany).
