Tank Day
Overzicht
Inleiding
The museum at the Diessenhofen Armory is showcasing its 21 tanks from the Swiss Army in action. These tanks tell the story of the “mechanization of the Swiss Army.”
The museum at the Diessenhofen Armory displays its tanks, whenever possible, either in motion or stationary. The unique collection of 21 tanks—all of which were once in service with the Swiss Army and are still roadworthy today—tells the story of the “mechanization of the Swiss Army,” beginning with the Panzerwagen 39 “Praga” and extending to the Panzer 87 “Leopard” and the M-109 KAWEST self-propelled howitzer. These tanks are valuable historical witnesses to the resistance during the Cold War.
Tanks in Motion
Various tanks drive around the grounds of the Museum at the Diessenhofen Armory. These drives are accompanied by commentary.
Tanks Up Close
Additional tanks are on display in the hall. Knowledgeable museum staff are on hand to provide explanations to visitors.
Bridge-Laying Tank Demonstrations
On the main square in front of the museum at the Diessenhofen Armory, demonstrations of the bridge-laying tank’s functions will take place.
All other exhibitions at the museums in Diessenhofen and Schaffhausen, as well as the museum café in Diessenhofen, will be open starting at 10:30 a.m. A shuttle service using a military vehicle will run between the two locations starting at 10:30 a.m. The event in Diessenhofen will feature musical entertainment by the “Old Iron Stompers.”
