A little to the south of the polar circle is a small town called Korgen. Here lives a collector who has opened his collection for visitors. His collection is outgrowing him and he will need to expand soon.
We went for a visit, and I am amazed over how much stuff it is possible to get into a normal sized barn. Already entering the yard you know something is up. Vehicles, wagons,barrels,seamines,guardhouse and grenades almost litter the area. I was like a kid in a candyshop, jumping and climbing around the stuff to take some pics and inspect it all.
When the owner came and opened up the barn my eyes didnt know what to do. An Opel Blitz, with the bed filled with stash, fighter plane parts, a motorcycle and enough boxes and crates to resupply a third of the wehrmacht.
In the second floor he had the good stuff. It was unbelivable! The whole room packed full of flags, guns, uniforms, helmets and all sorts of things. I was afraid to move around in there because of it all. We spent a good hour walking around studying the collection, but could easily spend a few hours more. I really hope he gets a bigger space for this exellent hoard of ww2 objects..
