A separate section for the liberation of a concentration camp by the 12th armored division had a warning that it may not be appropriate for young children was also there. There were quite a bit of uniforms, and other artifacts of American and German army on display and several installations showing command post tents, observation posts, POW barracks, etc. There were two jeeps though that were in pristine condition. There were a few vehicles parked outside in the back of the museum that you could go and view, but they are in fairly poor condition and are in the process of being restored.

The nice lady that handled ticket sales and started us with the introductory movie in the first room told us that there is a basement level that is being worked on to be opened up eventually for a museum expansion. The museum takes about 2 to 3 hours to see from start to finish and there is a lot of information to take in and digest. We visited the museum on a Tuesday right as it opened and had convenient free parking right across the street.
