Its location outside the historic center of Dresden allowed the building to survive the Allied bombing campaign at the end of World War II; thereafter it proudly displayed Communist tanks and submarines under East German rule. In 1989, Germany's Bundeswehr — or Federal Defense Force — was unsure how the museum would fit into the newly unified German state, deciding to simply shut it down.
