In the second part of our presentation of the Kürassier light tank, Col Walter Posch explains the turret and the 105mm main gun. If you want to see this vehicle (and many others), mark the date of our 2023 Fall Gathering: on September 2 and 3 we will again open our workshops and present all of our exhibits.

Our latest video is online. In part one Dr. Hermann Spoerker presents the history and the hull characteristics of the Austrian "Kürassier" light tank, part two will cover turret and gun characteristics.

It's now official - unfortunately "On Wheels and Tracks" (the large military vehicle gathering hosted by the Vienna Museum of Military History) will again be cancelled in 2023. We hope that this meeting will return in 2024 in a new setting (held on the Army Proving Grounds in Bruckneudorf).
Last year, our Slowakian friends brought their OT-62 TOPAS vehicle to the Offroad event "From Haflinger to Kürassier". We took the chance to shoot a short video on the vehicle while it was on display at our Annual Fall Gathering 2022.

During our 2022 Annual Gathering we could present GenMjr (ret) Wolfgang Jilke "his" former command vehicle from the time he commanded the 9th Tank Grenadiers Brigade. After the Brigade had been disbanded in 1997, the APC served for a few more years in an Armored Engineer Battalion until it was discharged from active service in 2010 and believed lost. Today it is back in its original condition and parked - together with its "brethren" from the 3rd and 4th Tank Grenadiers Brigades - in Prottes. The link to a short interview with GenMjr Jilke is here (German version only):
