Hi all!!! I'm new to the forum and look forward to posting.

I'm going to Aberdeen Proving Grounds in the middle of July and I was wondering if anybody knew what WW2 German Tanks and Russian Tanks were at Aberdeen?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!!!

newbie as well...might wanna try this link.

Yes, the collection is listed in http://www.ordmusfound.org/muscollection.htm .

I was convinced they had a lot more, but I may be mixing up with the Fort Knox collection. And welcome, both of you

I'm sure that's not the entire collection, I wonder if they're not mentioning the loads of vehicles they have scattered around the world to protect them from the grim conditions of Aberdeen. Embarassed at the state they allowed them to get into perhaps?

Quite a nice story of their KT here.
And some decent photos of the collection here.

Keep us informed on how it looks FMK, the collection is one of the most significant but neglected in the world, it seems there's a real effort going on to get stuff under cover (there are ww1 tanks there that have stood outside for c.80 years) and some vehicles that looked lost seem to have been recently restored (beautiful job on their standard Pz.IV, hopefully the hydrostatic one will get some protection too). I wonder if their Tiger is back home from the UK yet. And the last I saw of the Elefant it was in a terrible state, but rumour says it's being worked on now?

Sorry, I'm rambling... again. Aberdeen worries me, though the recent news seems improved.

Welcome to FMK & Zippo.

Cheers,
Adam.

This might explain the current limited list, according to the often authoritative Munster Panzermuseum the entire collection is to be relocated to Fort Lee in Virginia where undercover storage can be provided:

The rest of the Panzermuseum site is always worth a look too.

Cheers,

Fort Lee............that's only 30-40 minutes drive from here. Good news when it happens.
