Bastogne Barracks AFV Museum

Me and a couple of gaming mates passed through Bastogne in November, and stopped into the Bastogne Barracks tank museum.

I've uploaded a video onto YouTube of the pictures I took there, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzA_vd3805M&ab_channel=Madaxeman.com

 Oh that looks like a nice collection, they have a Chaffee and an Easy 8!

Really well presented. This was our second attempt to go to it, the first being on a Monday - when it turns out that pretty much everything of interest to wargamers all across mainland Europe is shut !

Hmm.  I don't remember going here in '86 when the officers in the tank battalion I was in did a staff ride to Verdun and the Battle of the Bulge sites.  Too bad - it looks like quiet the place.  If ever I find myself back in Belgium, this place will certainly make the list.

Nice collection there, thanks for sharing this and the link to your blog. Definitely a museum to visit when doing the Ardennes.
