Weird! Very interesting pictures, by the way. Interesting to see that they removed the muzzle brake on the Jpz L/48

What's more, who even only remotely sane in his mind would bury a Jpz IV in a static position?? You can traverse the gun what, 5 degrees?

Here are some more pictures, which are truly fascinating:

Some Stugs still emplaced (never ever seen something like that before!!), and a totally weird Pz IV with what's apparently an Russian 76mm gun.

Fascinating stuff - thanks for sharing! :thumbs_up_1:

Apparently someone just pulled a T-34 out of swamp. The tank was so well preserved by the anaerobic environment that it literally started up and ran after the salvers simply replaced the battery and the engine oil.
