This is a kind of bad tastes. The owner of the private war museum bought a T-34 from Soviet, to attract his museum, although T-34 is not fit to the west front.
This museum was not managed well. I hope the owner sell all items to the government or public group. The items displayed were so huge and not maintained, and were confusing. It was just a private collection.
Anyway I located on the north of the Arnhem. Time is 1700. I had to go back to Groesbeek tonight, but have some hours till sunset. Heading to HQ, Oosterbeek. It is 10-20km from here.
