Who?
This?
I never would have guessed, honestly …
She is very cute. But I was referring to the Stryker SHORAD.
Of course there was more.

Accoprding to a Lt. present there, the Hellfire starter will be replaced by another Stinger pod.
Some very interesting vehicles are displayed there. Thanks for sharing.
But what does MUNA mean?

Muna Museum
Mitten in Hessen, im ländlich idyllischen Vogelsberg, bestand nahe dem Ort Grebenhain von 1936 bis 1945 eine wichtige militärische Einrichtung der damaligen Luftwaffe der deutschen Wehrmacht: die Luftmunitionsanstalt Hartmannshain.

Hi Olivier,
as Robin stated MUNA means Munitionsanstalt. It a bulding in the shape of a swastika to prevent catastropic destruction in case that something explodes. In this MUNA they produced rounds for 8,8 cm Flak. It inside a forest to prevent detection from the air. It´s a vast area with countless bunkers for storage. The collection is vast, not only vehicles but small arms, uniforms pictures an lots of small items. If you want to visit take note that the museum is not permantly open, only by appointment. Anyway, the annual Open House is a great event with delegations of US Army visiting with their vehicles.
Here´s their page: muna-museum.de

Took me a minute to figure out what the was going on here then saw the other thing
They have 3 M60 A3 and a M728. I used the M728 as a base to take topshots of the SHORAD.
Aha, there are two of them?
One northeast of Frankfurt a. M, Grebenhain, and one west of Nürnberg, Marktbergel, …

Zoom out and go slightly west to see a US Army firing range and exercise yard
AFAIK, there must have been dozens of MUNA´s in the Reichsgebiet. I remember seeing signs for MUNA´s mostly near US Army installations. I don´t think that the Imperial German Army, the Reichswehr and the Wehrmacht could have gone with only 2 or 3 installations.

How many of them got turned into museums though??
AFAIK only the Oberdachstetten Muna. Here a brief history of the museum.
