Thanks for sharing your photos, Arne! I hope you had a good time there! 👍 🙂 It's still a beautiful museum that has a number of quite interesting objects. Everyone should visit it at least once, I think 😄

Hi Arne, thanks for posting these shots! What type of tank is the one on the first pics, looks like a russian one (IS2)?

@John Yes, you are right. I will visit it a second time in 2 weeks.
@coporado Hi Sasha, I´m not familiar with russian tanks, but I will ask someone, who is familiar with them.

OMG, I´m totally confused. I forgott the middle of the pics. They are around 300 pics, and I added the first and the last pics of the first wave of pics. :-O

Nice pics, Arne, thx. for sharing.
@coporado, I do think it is an IS-2. IS-1 had the 85mm gun without muzzle break that was later given to the T-34/85.
IS-2 got the A-19 122mm gun and some got the 100mm BS-3. Don't know clearly which one we see here but for sure not the 85mm.

Well, that was all for the first time. The last 100 will follow tomorrow.
Enjoy them!

It is definitely an IS-2, stripped of all it's exterior attributes, with a 122mm gun.
I know for sure because Overloon is pretty much home base for the armor enthusiasts club I'm a member of (TWENOT) 🙂
They have a T-34/85 as well. I think both Russian tanks came from the former (Dutch) Marshall Museum collection which was merged into the Overloon collection a number of years ago.
On March 26th and 27th, 2016 the TWENOT, which is short for "Tweede Nederlandse Organisatie van Tankhobbyisten / Second Dutch Organisation of Tank Hobbyists", will celebrate its 40th anniversary. Guess where the festivities will take place 😄
I personally don't think it's strange to find Russian Armor in a War Museum. I think it's actually quite cool they don't just focus on what happened on the Western Front 🙂

@John
Thanks for the background informations.
@coporado
It is no tank museum only for the western front. 😉 The most of the tanks are from the western front, but not all.
