Also a huge and building collection of destroyed armor, mostly German Panzers but some Russian, American, British and Japanese.

Special Premium Section:  Horrors of War

These photos are for members only and they are  horrendous.  This is a special page of after the battle photos before the bodies have been removed.
Not very nice to see but it is part of war.  Tanks are not empty shells when destroyed; a moment before there were 3 to 5 living souls inside. Too gruesome to describe.
