Battle Relic: Third Reich weaponry left
behind in previously occupied
countries in the European Theatre of
Operations, World War
Two.
Introduction: After
World War Two had ended in Europe on
May 8th 1945, its former
battlefields were littered with the
weaponry that had been too heavy for
the German soldiers to carry back
into the Fatherland during their
retreat.
Often, German tanks, trucks and guns
had been salvaged for their scrap
metal value.
In many cases however, they
remained intact and were used by
local governments as landmarks in
local communities.
Often well preserved, the weapons of
destruction even today still serve
as monuments reminding us of the
senselessness of war.
This study of several battle relics
shows Third Reich weaponry to be found 'in
the wild'
within the boundaries of the European
Theater of Operations ("ETO") today.
It is not a complete list but rather
a work in progress.
We advise our viewers to keep
monitoring this page for more
featured battle relics.
Of course, any input or suggestions
of Third Reich weaponry left behind
publicly in the European Theatre of
Operations is welcome.

with Dutch firearms legislation,
this canon's barrel was pierced and
cut open above the breech so it
can't be used for firing anymore. We
found the elevation and windage
adjustment wheels still in
working order. Again, an artillery
piece on property with limited
public access, but one in almost
mint condition.

Location: Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer,
Basse-Normandie, France
GPS location: 49°33'23.04"N,
0°39'40.93"E.
Item Description:
Part of Widerstandsnest 27 in
Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, this 5
centimeter KwK 39 gun is still
placed in its "Haube" concrete
casemate. The gun still shows the
damage from the Canadian AVRE tank
that took it out of action. This
artillery piece has so many post-war
coats of paint on it, that we had to
add extra magnets to
the famous magnetic Battle Detective
sticker to attach it on the gun. Click
here for a photo of the gun
shortly after its capture in June
1944.

(15-36)
Location: Grounds of the Arnhem
War Museum 40-45 on No. 780
Kemperbergerweg, Arnhem, Province of
Gelderland, The Netherlands (Artillery
piece accessible to the public
outside opening hours).
GPS location: 52°01'37.05"N,
5°52'19.05"E.
Item Description:
We have been debating intensely
whether or not to include this PanzerAbwehrKanone
(PAK) 40 in our list of Third Reich artillery in the European Theater of
Operations with public access. This
anti tank guns sits within the
grounds of the
Arnhem War Museum 40-45 on No.
780 Kemperbergerweg outside of
Arnhem. When we visited the museum
on 30NOV2013, the canon was placed
behind a fence and the owners warned
us of a vicious dog guarding its
perimeter. Because of the facts that
we were able to carefully attach a
magnetic Battledetective.com sticker
on one of its wheels and that the
gun can be seen from the nearby road
(and on
Google StreetView) we did add
the gun here.

Battle Relic Sub File No.: 15-KK
(15-37)
Location: Grounds of the Deelen
Air Base Museum on No. 10
Hoenderloseweg, Arnhem, Province of
Gelderland, the Netherlands (Artillery
piece accessible to the public
outside opening hours).
GPS location: 52°3'40.756''N, 5°53'
52.342''E.
Item Description:
Third Reich 75mm anti aircraft canon;
captured in 1940 from the French
(originally a Schneider 75mm gun)
which defended the Arnhem road
bridge during the Battle of Arnhem
in September 1944. After the battle
a German demolition team (‘Sprengkommando’)
blew the gun’s breech. In 1996 it
was dug up and put on display on the
lawn in front of the
Deelen Air Base Museum near Arnhem.
This gun was the #5 piece in a Nazi
labor unit (RAD, or ‘Reichs Arbeits
Dienst’) battery which designated it
"Emil" after the 5th letter in their
spelling alphabet.
Although it is a captured foreign
weapon (‘Beutewaffe’) and placed in
a museum lawn - albeit close to the
roadway; without a fence - we
decided to feature this artillery
piece here, because of it
significance in the Battle of Arnhem
and the elaborate explanation museum
staff gave us when we visited Deelen
on August 26th 2014.

in the familiar Wehrmacht "Gelb-Grün-Rot"
(Yellow Green Red) camouflage scheme
but repainted in"Feldgrau Dunkel"

Battle Relic Sub File No.: 15-OO
(15-41)
Location: Grounds of a
former textile plant on No. 6 Laan
van Hilbelink, 7101WG Winterswijk
(Gld.), The Netherlands.
The site is now in use for small
businesses and the depot of the
local museum whose staff was of
great help in getting us access to
this artillery piece. After the war,
it sat for decades as a telltale
sign in the front yard of the local
Westerdiep Garage in Winterswijk.
(Gun barrel accessible to the public
outside opening hours).
GPS location: 51°58'08.64''N, 6°43'24.41''E.
Item Description:
Barrel of a Soviet 152 millimeter
Model M1937 ML-20 Howitzer;
according to
the sign attached to the barrel,
it was captured by the Nazis in
Stalingrad and subsequently used
during the Battle of Arnhem and used
for fire missions on the German city
of Bocholt on March 30th 1945.
EXHIBITS:
Photos taken om 30MRT2016.
We have encountered
complete M1937 ML-20 Howitzers on a
former Soviet monument in Berlin in
2014 and recognized this barrel
from these. Although this artillery
piece is only open to the public
during opening hours of the
businesses on the site (Roy’s Gym
and the Hertgers Trucking Co. to be
precisely) and it is also a Third
Reich
“Beutewaffe” (looted armament) we
still publish it here because of its
historical relevance and the effort
we took in driving to remote Winterswijk twice on 27 & 30MAR2016. |

Battle Relic Sub File No.: 15-PP
(15-42)
Location: Lot in front of
old dwelling and watermill housing
the
Regional Maaskant '44 War Museum
on Watermolenstraat 12, 6127AP
Grevenbicht (LB), The Netherlands.
(Vehicle accessible to the public
outside opening hours).
GPS location: 51°0’30.06”N,
5°46’07.44”E.
Item Description:
Lorraine 37 L Schlepper (f) tractor.
Originally of French origin, this
tractor was used by the Nazis as a "Beutewaffe"
(looted armament) after the
capitulation of France in June of
1940, when over 300 Lorraine 37
tractors were captured. At first the
Nazis used these vehicles in their
original role as ammunition and
personnel tractors but where later
transformed into weapon carriers by
installing turrets and artillery
pieces such as the 10,5 cm L.F.H. (Leichte
FeldHaubitze) or the 15 cm SIG33, (Schweres
InfanterieGeschutz) as its main gun.
Best known were the versions with a
7,62cm PAK (r) (a "Beutewaffe"
captured from the Soviets; hence the
letter 'r' for Russian) or 7,5cm PAK
40 (featured in this article in
Battle Relics 15-T, 15-AA,
15-JJ and 15-NN),
named "Marder I", one of the first
successful Third Reich tank destroyers. Due
to this particular vehicle’s number
(517) it is the owner's theory that
his tractor was built in the
unoccupied Vichy French area. The
Germans allowed Lorraine's 37/44 to
be built as tractors for
agricultural purposes and ordered
them together with armored
superstructures which were delivered
unassembled. Because these
relatively thin-armored fighting
vehicles were no match against late
war Soviet tanks, most Lorraine 37
based vehicles were redeployed ion
the Western front and the owner does
not rule out that vehicle 517 saw
action in the area of its current
location in the Netherlands in
September 1944.
EXHIBITS: Photos taken on
27MAR2016.
When we visited the museum on
Easter Sunday 2016 we found it
closed. The Lorraine 37 L Schlepper
(f) numbered 517 however was parked
at the roadside. Although partially
covered under a plastic tarp to keep
the elements out of the vehicle we
could get some good pictures of this
battle relic. Questions asked the
museum staff about actual opening
hours remain unanswered to this time
of publication, but perhaps we will
be given the opportunity to
photograph Lorraine 517 fully
uncovered in the near future. |

(15-43)
Location: Lot in front of
building
the
Bulge Relics Museum
on Route d'Ottré 41+, Joubieval, B-Vielsalm
(Province of Luxembourg), Belgium.
(Gun barrel accessible to the public
outside opening hours).
GPS location: 50°15’34.50”N,
5°50’54.09”E.
Item Description: Barrel
of a Third Reich Panzerabwehrkanone (PAK:
Anti-tank gun) 40. A museum staff
member explained to us that a local
farmer had used the gun barrel to
hold up a barn roof. When the barn
was refurbished recently, the barrel
had been donated to the museum. On
the museum's website we read that
the muzzle break had been cut in
order for the barrel to be used as
a support beam. After the barrel
was donated the missing piece was
welded back on the muzzle break. The
barrel shows some damage consistent
with artillery shell fragments
impacts. It also bears the stamped
letters "BRM" on the top of the
barrel. Unfortunately we couldn't
trace this back to a "Waffenamt"
manufacturer's code or other
designation.

and found the PzKpfw IV painted in
the yellow-green-red camouflage
scheme of the Wehrmacht, but we have
seen earlier images of the German
tank painted in the early war-time
dark gray ("Dunkelgrau No. 46" in
German).

This gun was the World War 2 basic
Third Reich heavy howitzer, serving
alongside the smaller 10,5 cm leFH
18. It was based on the World War 1
design of the 15 cm sFH 13, and
was outdated compared to the weapons
it faced. It was the first artillery
weapon equipped with rocket-assisted
ammunition to increase range.

from the Krupp Steel Co. originally
mounted on the 1940 Type
Kriegsmarine minesweeper ("Minensuchboot"
in German) M469.
This minesweeper was built by the
Van der Giessen & Zonen shipyard in
Krimpen a/d IJssel in the
Netherlands during the Nazi
occupation. It was launched on
9JUL1942, commissioned on 6JAN 1943
and served in the 469th
"Minensuchflottille". On
4JUL1944 minesweeper M469 was sunk
after being attacked by British
Royal Navy Motor Torpedo Boat MTB458
commanded by Lt. Cdr. Derek Wright
at 0250 hours, North West of the
Dutch island of Vlieland at position
53° 21" N 04° 57"E. On 8AUG1988 the
"Ecuador" diving team from the
island of Terschelling salvaged the
deck gun from the broken stern of
the M469. Today the gun is on
display on the lot of the diving
team in the harbor of Terschelling.
Also two German deck guns of the
First World War are on display
there.
The 10.5 cm/45 SK C/32 deck gun was
designed in 1932, weighs 3,494 lbs.
(1,585 kg) and has a rate of fire of
15 rounds per minute.

Battle Relic Sub File No.: 15-AAA
(15-53)
Location: Lauweplaats
public square in Lauwe, a borough of
the municipality of Menen, Province
of West-Flanders, Belgium.
GPS location: 50°47’42.20”N,
3°11’05.70”E.
Item Description:
This canon became the pride of the
Belgian village of Lauwe when it was
captured during the battle for a
bridge across the river Leie and
participated in the liberation of
Lauwe on 6SEP1944.The Allies
presented the canon to the citizens
of Lauwe in gratitude for their
resistance in securing the bridge
during the German retreat.
The canon of Lauwe is a mixture of a
French World War One (made in 1915)
Model 1897 75 millimeter canon,
built by the Schneider arms factory
and the German 7.5 centimeter
Panzerabwehrkanone 38 with the Third
Reich "Beutewaffe" nomenclature
Pak97/38.
From lack of sufficient canons of
their own manufacture for deployment
at the Russian front, the Third
Reich transformed captured canons
during World War Two.
The canon is therefore a mixture of
French and German parts: the gun
itself is French but the rest such
as the mount, shield, wheels, muzzle
flash hider, etcetera, are German.
After World War Two the gun has been
moved between the communities of
Lauwe and Rekkem to finally find its
current place on Lauweplaats in
2010.

Item Description: French
155 millimeter C MLE Schneider canon
of 1917, used as a "Beutewaffe" by
the Nazis and put out of action by
Canadian troops on 6OCT1944 during
the liberation of Ossendrecht. A
sign near the canon not only states
that this artillery piece has been
restored in 1992 by staff of the
Queen Wilhelmina Barracks but also
that a German conscripted soldier
was KIA when the gun was silenced.
This canon weighs 3350 kilograms
(7826 lbs), fires 45 kilogram (100
lbs) shells at a range of 11000
meters (12030 yards) and was
typically drawn by 8 horses.

Coudorp 41, in 4455AH Oudorp,
Province of Zeeland, the Netherlands
GPS location: 51°28'2.87"N

Item Description: Third
Reich Pak 36 (Panzerabwehrkanone)
3.7 cm caliber anti-tank gun. The
Nazi invasion of France and the Low
Countries in May 1940 revealed this
gun's inadequate penetrating power
against French and British heavy
tanks but was, however, powerful
enough to defeat most of the Allied
armor in the campaign. From late
1940 onward the PAK 36 was replaced
by the 5 cm PAK 38 anti-tank gun and
from November 1941 by the 7.5 cm PAK
40.
EXHIBITS:
Photos taken on 05FEB2018.
This gun is located in a park
adjacent to the museum which was
made up as a stretch of local
coastline with Atlantik Wall
defenses, a Bailey Bridge and a
Sherman tank. We found the gun accessible to the public
24/7; but a closed fence may be
installed after the planned
construction of a new exhibit
building is completed in 2019. |

Item Description: Third
Reich Panther tank of the Ausführing
A type. On September 12th and 13th
1944 elements of the French 2nd
Armored Division, while advancing
through the region of Dompaire-Damas
in the Vosges mountains, came across
a defended German facility. 65
Panther tanks and Panzerkampfwagen
IV of the German 112th Panzer
Brigade were stored here. A fierce
battle broke out leading to the
destruction or capture of 59 of
these tanks. Considered one of the
best tanks in World War 2, this
Panther survived that battle.
From 1951 to 1952 the 4th squadron
of the French 503rd Battle Tank
Regiment was equipped with these
tanks as "Beutewaffe pur sang".
After that period this particular
vehicle was restored into its
original colors and given a
self-made Zimmerit coating at the
Tank Museum in Saumur, France.
EXHIBITS:
Photos taken on 03MAR2018.This tank is located on a
fenced-off and guarded military
facility of the French Army. We were
given access to document this tank
and were escorted from the gate to
the tank and back. We were told,
however, that the 501st Regiment has
"open-gate" days regularly where the
general public can enter the
regimental area freely. We therefore
show this tank here. |

EXHIBITS:
Photos taken on 16MAY2018.
This canon is located on the
grounds of the
Mémorial du Mont Faron museum
and overlooks the French naval city
of Toulon. In the past, this museum
was named Mémorial du débarquement
de Provence (museum of the invasion
of the Provence region in France)
but has been renewed and opened on
April 3rd, 2017. On a high hilltop,
accessed by winding mountain roads,
in the Toulon lighthouse ('faron' in
French) is an excellent museum about
Operation "Dragoon" which started on
August 15th, 1944 when Allied troops
liberated the Nice, Cannes, Monaco
and Toulon area. The cannon can only
be accessed by paying visitors
during museum opening hours;
although outside the museum, located
in the Mont Faron park a Sherman
tank and several Allied artillery
pieces are on display day and night.
We were given full and exclusive
access to the gun during the
museum's lunch break.
Again, an artillery piece on
property with limited public access,
but worth visiting and adding to
this list. |

Item Description: Part -
barrel with attached breech block
only - of a Third Reich SFh18 ("Schwere
Feldhaubitze" or Heavy Field
Howitzer 18) 15 centimeter canon.
From measuring its dimensions with a
length of 444 centimeters and a
barrel diameter of 15 centimeters,
it was established that this was
part of a SFh18.
Inside the portal and above the gun
barrel is a stone sign which does
not refer to the artillery piece but
describes how two brothers
from this house went to war and
didn't return.
EXHIBITS:

This gun barrel is placed
in the front portal of a building
which houses various families; we
where told by one of the residents.
The door to the portal is usually
open, but can be closed in winter
time when it freezes. This item is
therefore not entirely open to the
public but passers-by are free to
visit the gun. |

GPS location: 43°20'34.2"N

Item Description: Third
Reich StuG III "Ausführung G"" self-propelled gun
(SP).
This vehicle was left behind by he
Germans in July 1944 and was found
again in 1991. The restoration has
been done by the local "Italian Tank
Crewmen Association" and was
finished in 1993.
Is has not been rebuilt exactly and
many parts where newly created for
the project. We did find original
rubber tires on the bogey wheels,
but all from different German
factories. When the Germans
retreated from the area, the bridge
which this SP was crossing collapsed
under its weight and the StuG fell
into a river. It remained under the
ruins of the old bridge until 1991,
when construction work brought it
back to the surface.
It should be noted that the only
part of this StuG that is original
is the lower chassis and running
gear. Everything above that (engine
decking, fenders, crew compartment,
gun barrel) has all been fabricated
by the restoration crew.
Internally all that remains are the
torsion bars and some of the
sprocket drive train. From 1993 to
June 2015 the StuG was placed on the
Piazzale Giuseppe Garibaldi square.
It was then moved to its current
location on Via Trento.

South-Holland, the Netherlands
GPS location: 51°54'48.8"N
4°04'27.6"E
Item Description: Third
Reich 'Flugabwehrkanone FLAK 37mm
kaliber' anti-aircraft gun. On
European Bunker Day, Saturday
25MAY2019, this canon was presented
to the public for the first time on
the grounds of the German
Luftwaffe radar
analysis post ("Funkmeßgerätauswertungsstelle")
codenamed "Biber" in the dunes
behind the coast of the Dutch town
of Oostvoorne. On Bunker Day, many
of the concrete pillboxes, strong
points, sleeping quarters, fire
control stations, gun emplacements
etcetera of the former Nazi
Atlantikwall coastal defense system
which have been preserved since
1945, are open to the public. This
anti-aircraft gun was found under
the sand in the Rockanje dunes,
probably left behind in MAY 1945 due
to its massive weight; 6 tons. The
artillery is installed on its own
specifically engineered FLAK
bedding. The crew for the FLAK
consisted of 5 to 7 men. The gun
could fire 120 shots per minute and
its horizontal range was 6600 meters
and vertically 4500 meters.
EXHIBITS:

This canon is located on the
grounds of the
"Biber" bunker complex. Although
it is a fenced off area open only to
the public on Bunker Day and during
regular guided tours during spring
and summer time, we
found it worth visiting and
adding to this list. |

14400 Longues-sur-Mer, département
Calvados, Normandy region, France.
GPS location: 49°20'36.8"N
0°41'39.7"W
Item Description: Third
Reich 150mm TK C/36 battle ship gun.
Located near the Normandy town of
Longues-sur-Mer is a German coastal
artillery battery (in German:
Marineküstenbatterie (MKB)
Longues-sur-Mer code-named
Widerstandsnest (Wn)
48) consisting of an
observation bunker, four gun
emplacements in covered concrete
casemates together with various
other structures such as "Tobruk"
mortar and machine gun emplacements
and storage and crew accommodation
buildings.
The battery is situated in a
park-like area which is open to the
public all day and all year.
This agency has given the battery’s
gun casemates of regelbau
(standardized construction) type
M272, the numbers 1 to 4 counting up
from East to West; looking at their
business ends from the sea.
In them are still three relatively
intact 150mm TK C/36 battle ship
guns and the remains of one
destroyed gun consisting of parts of
its carriage but without the barrel
and breech.
These remnants are blocked from
public access by barbed wire / a
steel grating attached to the gun
opening of casemate number 1 and
will therefore not be featured here.
The tops of the gun barrels have "Heereswaffenamtfertigungskennzeichen"
(Third Reich Army Weapons Agency
manufacturer’s number) "bxb" stamped
in them, which stands for the
German-controlled
"Aktiengesellschaft vorm. Skodawerke,
Pilzen" in today’s Czech Republic.
The guns have a range of
approximately 20 kilometers (12
miles) and a rate of fire of six to
eight shots per minute. The
casemates had walls and ceilings
over 2 meters (6.6 feet) thick. The
guns were positioned on a central
pivot mount (Mittelpivotlafette -
MPL) TL C/36.

Battery) in 2009.
This Soviet gun was used by the
German army to defend the Atlantic
Wall. On 7JUN1944 this gun, then
situated in the site of the
Longues-sur-Mer Battery, near the
edge of the cliff, was neutralized
by British forces. It is assumed
that it saw action in the days after
D-Day because empty shell casing
were found nearby.
This gun is located on a berm in
between the car park and the tourism
office at the Longues-sur-Mer
Battery.

Description: Turret of a German
PzKpfw V ("Panzerkampfwagen V";

"Panther" tank. It was planned to
install a total of 96 of these
turrets in the Westwall defensive
line in so-called "Panthertürme"
or Panther-towers. In the end only
20 of these turrets were mounted in
similar static defensive positions.
To our knowledge this is the only
Panther turret on a "Turm"-position
on display today.
The gun's breech is still inside the
turret.
This weapon is located on the
grounds of a museum which is only
open to the public on weekend days
from April to November. It is
surrounded with barbed wire but
(with some risk of wear and tear)
accessible from the dead end road
leading to the museum. We found it
on an early Thursday morning without

Location: Car park on
Biesboschweg in 4926 SJ Lage
Zwaluwe, The Netherlands
GPS location: 51°43'05.7"N
4°41'38.4"E
Item Description: This is
a mysterious German World War Two
era 10,5 cm howitzer with 2
cylinders (presumably a recuperator
and a recoil buffer) in
juxtaposition positioned on top of
the barrel in a housing covering
both cylinders.
It is a mystery in the sense that
several details of this artillery
piece are known but to date we are
unable to determine a nomenclature
such as "Leichte Feldhaubitze"
(light field howitzer) as this
object does not match any known
German guns in literature.
We measured the barrel's diameter in
the past and it matches a 10,5
caliber.
On the rear end of the breech block
it is marked R495 in the
upper left corner and GX dxk
in the lower right corner. The
R-code most likely stands for "Rohr"
(barrel) and its serial number and
GX for a post-1942 code for the year
of manufacture which is not known to
this agency.
The code dxk stands for the "Fertigungskennzeichen"
or factory code of the German
company Menck & Hambrock G.m.b.H.,
Hamburg-Altona 1, Gr. Brunnenstr.
78.
The gun is coated in several layers
of paint causing our agency's
magnets to hold only faintly. It is
very likely that these paint layers
obscure the "small print" with the
gun's details usually found on the
upper right corner of the breech
block.
The gun was found in the water near
the Moerdijk bridges in 1989. At
that time it was still loaded with a
live shell and had to be deactivated
by Explosive Ordnance Disposal. On
5SEP2008, it has been placed as a
war monument in the swamp area at
the Schuddebeurs water pumping
station near Schuddebeursweg in Lage
Zwaluwe until it was moved to its
current location in 2021.
Remarkably, a sign was placed near
the gun describing it as an 80
millimeter gun first and later as a
105 millimeter caliber. Viewers are
encouraged to share their thoughts
and knowledge to identify the exact
model and type of this gun.
EXHIBITS: The gun on
the car park near the harbor area in
Lage Zwaluwe.

Location: Corner of rural
roads Damweg and Uudsdale, Damme,
Province of West-Flanders, Belgium
GPS location: 51°15'08.1"N
3°20'56.3"E
Item Description:
German 88-millimeter gun barrel
section on the intersection of
Damweg and Uudsdale outside of Damme
in West-Flanders, Belgium. It is
placed as a monument for the Battle
of 't Molentje close to the location
where the Germans abandoned it in
September 1944.
This section of barrel comes from
one of the two 88mm guns that were
set up on mid-September, 1944 near
the Vergauwe farm on Damweg in
Moerkerke which caused severe damage
in the villages of Moerkerke,
Vivenkapelle and Sijsele. The 88mm
German flak gun was designed in the
early 1930s primarily as an
anti-aircraft gun and best known for
its lethal anti-tank capabilities.
In 1936 Krupp began production of
the Flak 36, a more economical
weapon with a barrel in three
sections rather than one. If a
section was worn down from firing,
it was possible to replace only that
section rather than the entire
barrel. This is one of those three
barrel-sections. This Battle Relic
is a bit too small for attachment of
our full-sized Battle Detective
Agency's magnetic stickers.
EXHIBITS: The 88mm Flak
gun barrel section on a pedestal on
the corner of Damweg and Uudsdale in
Damme, Belgium.

Battle Relic Sub File No.:
15-CCCC (15-81)
Location: Outside wall of
the
Remember Museum 39-45 at Les
Béolles 4, 4890 Thimister-Clermont,
Belgium
GPS location: 50°40'07"N 5°53'01"E
Item Description:
Top or "roof" part of a German
Jagdpanzer IV L/70. Also known as
Sd.Kfz. 162 ("Sonderkraftfahrzeug",
Special Motor Vehicle 162) the
Jagdpanzer was a German tank
destroyer based on the Panzer IV
chassis and built in three main
variants. Officially, only the
L/48-armed vehicle was named
Jagdpanzer IV. The L/70-armed
vehicle (were this roof part
described here as Battle Relic
15-81, came from) was named Panzer
IV/70. The vehicle was abandoned on
11SEP1944 at the town of Montzen,
about 12 kilometers northeast of
where it is today. The owners of the
Remember Museum 39-45 put a
model Jagdpanzer IV L/70 on
the wall indicating where this
part was when the vehicle was still
intact. We found the
hinge of one of the top hatches
still functioning. The museum,
founded in 1994, is well worth
visiting. Make sure to have at least
three hours available to see the
gigantic collection and to make a
reservation as the museum can be
visited "with guided tours only
and always by reservation".
EXHIBITS: The roof part
of a German Panzer IV L/70 on the
wall of the Remember Museum 39-45.
