Join with us for this special presentation...

This is truly unique! Come in and see and hear about our incredible collection of unique and somewhat unusual World War II German military vehicles. You will see cars that are boats and tracked motorcycles. The Mechanization of the Wehrmacht - Saturday November 2 at 1:00pm.

The forces of N**i Germany in World War II were some of the most formidable fielded in any war. Backed by German science, engineering and modern mass-production techniques, it was a new type of highly mechanized warfare. Faster paced and deadlier than the armed forces that fought in the Great War just 20 years before, it overwhelmed slower moving enemies and helped Germany subjugate an entire continent.

Come see, hear, and learn about several original examples of German war technology that very nearly ended Western Civilization as we know it.

Presenter – Dr. Shawn Behrenfield
Program free with regularly paid admission.
