Winters effects
The Dead Man's Corner Museum is not big but it has a fantastic collection of war memorabilia including Dick Winter's personal effects from the war. Pretty cool.
I'd rate DMC Museum as small, a little over priced, and 65% gift shop/memorabilia sales... but nonetheless a must-see. It's cool to be in the house and look outside from the same view point as both German and American troops. And the depth of the equipment on display is really impressive. One bad criticism, however, is that the lighting and the little descriptions attached to the displays are VERY hard to read. I gave up trying to read many descripions because it was just too dim and the tags are not well placed for reading (crooked, at weird angles, etc.).
The back of the museum is a giant memorabilia store. I am not a collector and wouldn't know real stuff from fake stuff. Still, I couldn't help but wonder how much of the "real" stuff could possibily real. There was just SO much...
