"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!

Im not! Keep your shovel, and when you find something, call me. I'll bring the Komatsu! LOL That shovelling crap sounds too much like "work" :-)

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?
