Photos - The Dutch Army Museum
Comtourist learned that the Dutch Army Museum in the city of Delft has an T-55 AM on display that was used by the East German army to train tank commanders and engineers. The Soviet tank is worked open so students can see all the inner parts and understand how the tank works. We took a train to Delft and shot a series of photos from this interesting museum item.
The Dutch Army Museum is located in the old arsenal in the centre of the ancient Dutch city Delft. It is no surprise that most of the displayed items relate to the history of the Dutch army. The museum does have some interesting items that relate to armed forces of some of the communist countries however. The Dutch army was part of the UN forces during the Korean War and the peace mission in Yugoslavia, so the museum shows multiple items relating to these conflicts. There is also a section dedicated to the cold war with various Soviet and GDR uniforms and a section of the Berlin wall. The absolute top piece is the T-55 AM tank however, a good reason to visit the Dutch Army Museum when visiting Delft.
