Larry,

I think "Surviving Panzers" is a good starting point; http://the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving_Panzers.html

The PDF's do mention a number of the vehicles in the Saumur reserve collection, but I know for a fact that have lots, lots more. I have seen pictures of rows and rows of US halftracks. When I last visited the museum I remember seeing an unrestored M31 Recovery, a Panther as used post-war by the French, a Sherman M4A1 DD with a 76mm turret (the one from the Longuest day maybe???) and a second Char B. I have to check the pictures to see what more they had when I visited. If I am correct Saumur also "cleared" the Trun scrapyard for anything usefull.

Alex
