"Great display of military technology. A lot of interesting weapons and they are well preserved.
One big minus is, tha absolute lack of english descriptions. My german is limited, and I had to use foto translator to get some information about things, that were interesting ."

"One of the largest collections I've visited (±4hours), certainly worth going here especially for those that are interested in the technical aspects of military vehicles and equipment.
They also have a gyrojet and G11 prototypes :).
There is parking available at the museum and a bookshop with a ton of historical books around the corner."
