NOTICE:

PANZERMUSEUM.COM
will be CLOSING on 15 May 2003

I regret to inform everyone that I have decided to close down the site. It has been a lot of fun, but now it is time for me to move on. I have informed the Deutsches Panzermuseum Munster (via Stadt Munster) of my decision, and have offered to transfer the domain name and the site files to whomever they may choose.

I appreciate your support and patronage over the years, and hope that the Panzermuseum will take on the challenges and rewards of maintaining the site the way it truly ought to be.

My best wishes to everyone!

Regards,
The Webmaster

The Panzermuseum is a joint establishment of the town of Munster and Kampftruppenschule 2, the central training installation for officer candidates and noncommissioned officers of the Armored Combat Troops.

The military vehicles, weapons, and items of equipment are the property of either the Federal Government, the city of Munster, or are on loan from other institutions.

The major displays in the museum include:

	A full-scale replica – built to original specifications – of the German A7V "storm-tank" used by the Kaiser's Army of 1918.
	40 vehicles of the former Wehrmacht (1934 through 1945): Panzerkampfwagen I, II, III, IV, V Panther, VI Königstiger, assault guns, hunting tanks, armored personnel carriers, armored reconnaissance vehicles, prime movers, 3.7cm to 8.8cm anti-tank guns, tracked and wheeled armored vehicles, and unarmored vehicles.
	Over 30 vehicles of the Army from 1955 to the present: motorcycles, wheeled vehicles, armored personnel carriers, armored reconnaissance vehicles, tank hunters, and battle tanks.
	German guns from 1941 to the present: handguns, machine guns, machine pistols, anti-tank guns, and modern air defense gun systems.
	Nearly 100 German Army uniforms since 1866, including the original field blouses of Rommel and Guderian.
	A collection of 584 modern steel helmets.

Note: We regret that we do not have sufficient resources yet to provide an English mirror of the museum site. However, on-line translation services like AltaVista's can help: just enter the appropriate URL, make sure the languages are set to "from German" and "to English," and Babelfish will take care of the rest (but be prepared for very rough translations!). In any case, we invite you to continue your tour!
