Australian Armour and Artillery Museum Annual AusArmourfest 2023

Hello Everyone! Finally posting some great content from others that I follow. Starting with today’s post. With the broad appeal of WWII armored vehicles, and the recent holding of AusArmourfest 2023 in Australia, this is perfect timing for this edition. To be clear, I did not attend, but going to this event is on my wishlist. Their collection is not only amazing, but look at all the operable armor in the video link below. Their FaceBook update is about 12 minutes long and you can see many Second World War vehicles in action. The 2 images below are from their video. Thanks for visiting, please see my other content and send other WWII-philes to visit!

Today’s post features the Nazi German Volksempfanger (People’s Radio). Joseph Goebbels, the brilliant and twisted Reich Minister of Propaganda, was a master of his trade.
