Very interesting couple of hours but no matter the weather wrap up, its freezing inside and I visited on a day it was really hot plus I am Scottish and used to the cold but this was too cold not to wear a jacket. Amazing pieces of history very fascinating only downside is there was only a few items that had been translated to English so if you can't read German then you won't be able to learn all that there is there to learn which is a shame.

Very well done. The vehicles have been restored and prepared in accordance with the original. Individual illustrations are also well presented and adequately described. Be sure to bring a jacket with you because it is very cold. A small point of criticism on my part would be a marker on the way there. In my opinion it can still be improved. Despite all that, a worthwhile destination.

I didn't like two things: the explanations are just a few in English when they should all be since it's open to "the whole world" and the most interesting part with the group of casemates and batteries is not accessible at all 🤔, Is it destroyed? It would have been interesting to see at least some of it 😔

The history is amazing! It's still awe inspiring to me to walk through these tunnels that were used during WWII. I didn't feel it should cost €8 euro to get in to this museum though; while very interesting I don't think the quality was that high. Bring a coat. It's chilly underground.

Das Westwall Museum in Niedersimten, am Rande von Pirmasens ist ein absolutes Highlight für Menschen, die in Militärgeschichte des 2. Weltkriegs interessiert sind. Schon bei der Ankunft war ich aufgeregt, was mich erwartet und ich muss sagen, dass ich die ganze Zeit über eine Gänsehaut hatte. Das Museum ist in einer ehemaligen Festung eingerichtet. Die unendlichen Gänge und die nachgestellten Szenarien geben einem natürlich nur eine kleine Idee, wie sich die Menschen in diesen Zeiten gefühlt haben müssen. Ich persönlich finde es wichtig, dass es solche Museen gibt, damit wir nicht das Grauen des Krieges vergessen. Ich sehe das Museum als Mahnmal zum Frieden. Denn Frieden ist leider nichts selbstverständliches. Vielen Dank an den Verein, der das Museum betreibt.

The Westwall is an awesome historical experience. The tour was great, fun fact to see how this fortification was used by community and the greater German and Allied Forces from it's birth to its eventual conversion in to a museum. PS Bring a Jacket
