I visited one war museums in my country and they had many ww2 era tanks on display. Those things are enormous when you are standing next to one.
There was also just a turret of one of the destroyed tanks and the turret had a hole in it, made by armor piercing round, and the hole was so big that I could put my whole arm through it. Somehow so incredible and horrifying to see that thick steel being penetrated at all. Touching something that had killed people was sobering, scary and for lack of a better word, made it more real.
