This is the hub of the museum showing tanks
from every theatre of WW2. From France and the Blitzkrieg, featuring the French Somua
and the tiny Matilda tank, through a Home Front section which houses the oldest
Sherman in the world, to the North African desert. Here we find fine examples
of Italian tanks, the British Crusader and Valentine along with the large
American tank, the General Grant, the German Panzer III and the mighty Tiger
captured in Tunisia in 1943. The war in Italy is represented by the German
Sturmgeschutz and the D Day section displays the Sherman DD swimming tank,
the flail tank and the famous DUKW amphibian.
Our panorama shows a fascinating collection of tanks
from the war in Western Europe from the British Cromwell to the massive Tiger 2
or King Tiger. Also featured are reconnaissance vehicles including an eight
wheeled German armoured car, a half track, an M3 scout car, a Buffalo amphibian
and an airborne light tank, the Locust. From here you enter the Eastern Front
where a German Panther faces down a massive Soviet KV-1 heavy tank. Finally the
hall shows examples of the last stage of Nazi defiance, the American tanks
opposing it and Japanese and Australian tanks from the war in the Far East.
