Last June, I visited the Military Museum in Belgrade. It is in a fortress on the top of one of the two hills in the very flat area around the city where the Danube and Sava Rivers meet and flow together. When I posted about my visit last year, I only put a few pictures on the page. Today, I am posting the rest of the pictures. Most of the tanks and guns are World War II and before. Serbia was conquered by the Nazis then under the political control of the Soviets until the fall of the Soviet Empire.
The museum itself has artifacts going back to the conquest of Serbia by Alexander the Great. Standing on the parapets of the fort that is the museum, it is easy to see how large armies conquered Serbia for the past two millennia.
If anyone is sure about the identification of these tanks and guns, send me a message and I will add captions. ngussman@yahoo.com Thanks!
