I know nothing about tanks! I strongly believe that this guy is even worse than me 🙂

TBTD – The only Dutch Tank in WWII & The Dutch Defensive Strategy

February 25, 2016 ~ Sebastianul

In Throwback Thursday we’ll look back on some tank (historical) peculiarities. This week we’ll start with the Dutch Renault FT-17 and its fate throughout the war.
The Dutch might not be known for their extensive combat and resistance against the German invaders in May 1940. A little background insight will be given to show why the Dutch army was far from ready when Germany invaded.

Hello everyone,

One of our readers, Tata ‘SDST‘ Bufnita, from the RO-KO clan, is quite an artist when it comes to create wallpapers. He contacted me and asked if it would be possible to share his work, so I had a chat with Seb and we decided to share some of his wallpapers with you. Let us know if you like them and if you want us to share more.

Enjoy…

Saumur Tank Museum (Part 1)

February 12, 2016 ~ Sebastianul

I always dreamed on seeing the tanks I used to see in history books in person when I was a kid. Used to imagine myself going to places and be amazed by these vehicles and all of the engineering behind them. When I moved to the UK back in 2011, the first thing I did when I finally had money was to buy a car and go to the Bovington Tank Museum. My wife said to me when we got there “You look like a kid with a new toy”… And I was, I was finally seeing what I always dreamed of and I could touch them but this post is not about that visit, I’ll leave that to a latter post.

I will be sharing with you, in a series of posts, my visit to the Saumur Tank Museum, in Saumur, France or in as the French say Le Musée des Blindés de Saumur, back in September 2015.

I found myself in here when I finally decided to find where the French museum was and to my surprise, I found out that it was 80 km from where me and my wife usually stop to sleep on our road trip to Portugal… yeah, I drive all the way to Portugal from the UK once or twice a year and its an amazing trip.

And I have to be honest, it wasn’t disappointing. The museum has a huge collection and with very unique vehicles for any tank enthusiast to go crazy about, in total the museum has over 800 vehicles and over 200 are in full working order.
