Here my German haftrack wheel from Trun.
What I really wanted was a Panzer wheel but could not get it off.
Still looking for one.
I will post some pictures of the Museum in Saumur if I can find them.

Michel this is at the Point du hoc.
But it was given to the location by the tank museum in Saumur by the French Colonel that was in charge of it back in 1994.

So, I ask to a friend leaving in Ste Mère, there is the legend of the tank in a hole, since 25 years. Not far from his farm, a piece of SDKFZ 251/17, at 5 or 6 meters in the ground.

In the 70s there were still panzers in the woods... And 40years later you are a millionare if you have one of them.. weird...

I dont understand why humans always have to destroy their own history. If we destroy everything and every trace of the hard times, we learned nothing.
