Sinsheim Museum

Last Sunday I visited the Sinsheim Museum. It has a nice collection of oldtimer cars, airplaines and war-equipment from the 2nd worldwar.....

Here's a German WWII Junckers transport airplane.





And Adolf Hitlers personal armoured Mercedes. Near this magnificent car was also a copy of the original bill from Mercedes to Adolf Hitler. It costed 25.000DM!!!









This museum also has an original Concorde and also the Tupolev-144. I even could go into these beautiful airplanes. What an enourmous difference between the super-high tech cockpit of the Concorde and the ultra-low tech cockpit of the Tupolev!








And here's the Mighty German WWII Tiger tank, Germany's answer to the Russian T32. It was very nice, you could control the tracks, turret and the elevation of the barrel with a joystick. With the typical Maybach engine growl in the distance! Beautiful!

I really liked this museum a lot. Well maintained and a lot of information. When you ever come nearby: visit it!
