"After a small repair, they were able to start its engine."

Amazing. Great find.

WOW! That's unbelievable! Wonder what they would have needed if it had been a Tiger? :-) Ok people, grab your gear, start digging in your garden, search through your nearest lake and forest..... You never know what you might find, a Panther, another STUG or even another FW-190!
Who's with me??

Mint condition!! And it still has shells with it, too!

I see in the third video on the link that a crew member was well preserved too!

Cool. Seen this one before ... but doesn´t matter how many times, still worth another look.
A member of IPMS Stockholm, Jonas Dahlberg, is building a diorama with a similar situation, but pulling a KV1 out from a swamp. Text is in Swedish, but the pictures do the talking!
See HERE .
Who´s gonna attempt a dio with this German T34? Some extreme weathering anyone?

His diorama is based on this other favorite

KV-1

If you look closely at the T-34, the slogan on the turret is appropriately for an Estonian separate tank regiment.

Anyone heard anything about that Tiger tank that they found complete with MG-34 outside Kiseli, near to the city of Orsha?
