Not the same interview as before.

[Manic Moran]

Did I do an earlier one with him?

[Markus Becker]

I can't be hallucinating ... yet! I remember someone interviewing him and I thought it was you. And the things he said were similar. Like putting a horse drawn cart into the exhibition to destroy the idea of the high tech, mechanized Wehrmacht.

The new guy likes to put things in a modern context. Kinda strange when a guy with long hair does military.

Part of me wanted to speculate on a possible common lineage.

[Nikolas93TS]

He was in A7V video with WW1 guy I cannot recall the name.

He seems like a interesting guy to sit down with a few beers and listen to.

I think Indy Neidell might have done an interview with him on the Great War channel at some point.

 

Hang on a tick, here we go:

oh, I like watching his videos. And I am aquainted with several that fit my remark. It´s just strange (by earlier reality anyway , today nothing is especially strange).

Could be. He has often information you might not otherwise come by. Perhaps he has access to a lot of museum literature, or has informed himself out of interest or preparation for the job. He knows a lot in any case.

There are others out of actual Bundeswehr service or maintanence might be more interesting.

 

 

" The new guy likes to put things in a modern context. " This wasn´t meant as a positive observation really. I don´t know if everyone likes the changes. For example the "side exhibition" with a great number of weapons, uniforms, documents was drasticly reduced. Also at some point women had to somehow be included and emphasized. Modernizing. Could be the city officials and politics wanted to get the museum away from a kind of Wehrmachts and Bundeswehr exhibition, and make it more fitting for todays visitors. But just speculation OMP.

 

Remember ca. late 70´s first time there, the grumpity stocky about 60 man at the side door would sell you a little paper stub ticket from a roll, kinda not too ccoperative, and follow you around the simple exhibition. At the end going out I might ask about one of the Spielberger books hidden in his office. " Which one do you want ? " , " Twenty nine DM " , " Goodbye "

 

So it will be interesting to see the new museum in 20XX

Hopefully the fad for 'Experiences' in museums has passed and having one of those will be avoided.

That's the one.

 

As far as modernisation goes, I think he has a point bringing in carts and bicycles. Emphasizing women is ok too, as long as they are tankers. Aka. WW2 Red Army and modern day IDF.

[sunday]

They will need to extend the museum a lot if they want to have a diorama-like exhibit with each tank.

 

Or reduce the showed collection, and I am afraid they could go that way.

[Martin M]

( It IS a tank museum. And if any branch is without horses and carts, then Panzer Divisions. They might do their thing with a Stug diorama in defensive position with other Pak stuff, and fit in the horses and carts.

Neither the Imperial WW1 Army, Wehrmacht or early and mid Bundeswehr had much with women.)

Perhaps ascribing to a more ancient martial tradition?

Depends on how they do it. They already have all the AT-guns and some bycycles don't take up much space. Not accessible dioramas like that of the A7V would be very bad though.

[Mikel2]

No Pz III part 2 video?

[Burncycle360]

No Pz III part 2 video?

 

Was mentioned back on page 13:

 

 

Utterly out of my hands and is done pursuant to the availability of the Minsk video team. They didn't tell me part 1 was coming out. ITCH is being downgraded in the priority list, they are going to trickle out. I am unsure that they will fund more after the current six remaining vehicles.

With his hair in combination with his beard Ian McCollum always reminds me of the US Civil War fashion.

A horse cart is prominently displayed already when you enter the exhibition. Bicycles and motorcycles are also shown. But it could be emphasised more with more space.

 

The video was filmed in spring, so they are already in the middle of renovating the Panzemuseum. The demolishing is end of next year. The small arms collection has been closed eg., because they would have had to throw a lot of money at it to comply with new securtiy regulations, but that wing is planned to be demolished by end of next year.

Much of the collection is stored in unused halls of the Bundeswehr around Munster in the various caserns that surround the romantic town. I myself helped oonce pushing a few NVA collectibles into one of the halls. The ARV used was one of half a dozen M48 based prototypes, that is also part of the collection.

 

haha, romantic, really it is a small town, a few farmers and half a dozen Bundeswehr caserns and the armour troopsschool (sorry "Traning Centre Armoured Troops" now ) surrounding it and two exercise areas to the north and south.

Speaking of the videos that the Panzermuseum regularly publishes, it's too bad that none of them have English captions. The automatic translation feature in YouTube is far too inaccurate. I feel like I'm missing out here.

[Wiedzmin]

 

and btw, Panzer IVJ, with all crude stuff in place

@Wiedzmin

 

The Pz.III and Pz.IV both had holes at the end of their track pins where a retaining pin would be inserted. The pin would be bent out of shape to stop it from coming loose. Like Manic said, the bump on the side of the hull is only there in case the retaining pin fails.
