Speyer Cathedral and Technical Museum
A photo tour of two impressive sites in Speyer, Germany: the Imperial Cathedral including the crypt of three Holy Roman Emperors and the founder of the
Imperial House of Habsburg, Koenig Rudolf; and the Speyer Technical Museum, sister organization to the fantastic Sinsheim Technik Museum.
Of the many highlights at the Speyer technical museum are an original German submarine to walk around in (the U9), and
rare copies of the one and two man (Biber) late-WWII subs as well (these can't be walked around in, for obvious reasons). There are a few
pieces of other assorted WWII-era machinery, a large number of airplanes and trains,
and the complete Soviet Space Shuttle, which was a functional, working copy of the US Space Shuttle
that was abruptly discontinued when the USSR fell.

Panzers at Sinsheim Technik Museum
A photo tour of the Panzer / ground weapons portion of the Sinsheim Auto und Technik museum.
The presentation of this museum is unique, with similar weapons side-by side. For example, the 150mm howitzer
sits between a Panzer IV and the Self-propelled Hummel Gun, which is the same 150mm howitzer on the Panzer IV chassis.
Then, overhead, for something completely different, they have aircraft (the real thing, not models)
strung from the ceiling and swooping down over the other displays. It really is something to see. When some
of the planes are large Junkers Ju88s and Ju55s and Messerschmitts, you get the idea of how big the place really is.
It may not be all that impressive on a computer monitor, but in real life, it's quite something.
