Informations supplémentaires:
The T-34-85 was an up-gunned, up-armoured improvement on the basic T-34 tank. It had an 85mm gun in a new, larger, 3-man turret. It was designed to counter improved German Panther tanks. 29, 430 were built before the end of WWII The Overloon War Museum is located on the site of the Battle of Overloon, a World War II tank and infantry battle between Allied and German forces that occurred in September and October 1944, in the aftermath of Operation Market Garden. Set in 14 hectares of woodland, it is one of two museums in an area now designated as Liberty Park. A feature of the museum is the large number of military vehicles and equipment on display, both German and Allied, many of which were for many years displayed on the spot where they were disabled during the actual battle. In recent years they have been moved indoors in order to help preserve them. Many of the exhibited vehicles took part in the Battle of Overloon. In 2006 the collection was expanded with a large number of vehicles from the private Marshall Collection. Source: Wikiedia (part)
