  A Must see for WW II interests ! while in ST PETE ! for My Russian wife and I in Oct 2009 visited this excellent WW II related site I have always had a great interest in WW II on the eastern front the German and Russian side of the war. I understand that this museum is not a large as the first one built after the war ? it was destoryed by Stalin ? sad ! a very strange man ! a spent much time looking and the many items and taking photos a great collection of German & Russian & FINNS weapons uniforms flags helmets photos a excellent collection of items used by the FINNS ! my wife translated Russian to English for me what the information talked about some is in English one staff memeber that I talked to do use English perfect. The parts displays of the museum that talked about how the civilians lived during this period was excellent a excellent display of German and Russian tanks are just as you come into the main floor of the first floor what a great place to have a chance to visit and I will go back again soon I was told that the museum is being up dated all the time and some students where working on displays on the first floor. I now see on the internet in 2011 is more information telling travelers about the WW II museum in ST PETE in 2009 there was not much available on the internet ? only in small travel guides and my wife knew of this WW II museum and her family that lives in the area of course she knows my interests ! it also has been great being able to talk to Russian WW II vets during my travels to all over Russia ! Thank you ! a excllent WW II museum ! I will be back ASAP ! maybe 2011 ? visit to family in ST PETE.
