At the reunification palace two Vietnamese tanks are on display here. According to the signs this were the first tanks to enter the palace compounds.This one has the factorynumber 5903E019, probably a Soviet built T-54. Tactical number painted on the turret is ''843'' but it could be that it is not the original turret number. Since there is also a ''843'' preserved in a museum in Hanoi. According to the signs this tank was the first to enter the premises of the palace. But which ''843''...?
