I dont know if this really is a original tank which was 60 years in that swamp but im carefully in what nim saying and so maybe its real maybe its fake so what nice movie anyway lol
i am having some doubts that a 60 year old IRON vehicle was in a lake for 60 years and didnt rust and ...the miracle: it still started. total Bull shit. lol
@Hohenstaufen100 I've seen video where people getting out of the swamp Soviet aircraft with the pilot, his pistol in the holster and the documents were almost in perfect condition, and a pilot too =O
During the early 1990's some friends of mine in the British army dug a Hun Kubelwagon car out of the sand in North Africa, hosed it down, gave it a quick service with battery, plugs oil etc and it started
I found it in one of the related searches. don't remember the name of it. But I remember they poured fuel or something in it and then they started it.
I do hope they do not repaint it and not keep the German markings, it's a unique piece of history, not just a T34, but one which was captured and used to shore up the limited tank numbers the Germans had in armor. You have to be desperate to use enemy vehicles which you do not manufactor ammunition and parts for.
@jonnyasprin alot of swamps like this dont really have any oxygen in them so nothing really rust up too bad. I have seen tv shows about dead people recovered from swamps 20 or so years later and they are practically mummified. If this was just in any typical lake or a river there would be almost nothing left.
@TwoStrokePower653 yep.. i've seen a truck that fell into a muddy lake in the 30's and was pulled up a few years ago that still had most of it's hull left.. the engine and some of the electric devices, like the turn signal (that flappy thing) actually still worked after drying. The original and the remade car are both on display in Torsby, Sweden.. the car's hull is maybe 2mm while the t-34 has 20-45mm so.. :)
@jonnyasprin i suppose if it was well greased at the time that it went into the water, the grease has done it's job! they probably cleaned some of the crap out of the tracks in order to get them turning again and make it easier to tow.
Totally not fake! This tank was found from Estonia couple of years ago in perfect condition. The oil was still in the engine and everything worked. I even know the guy who brought it up from the lake.
im going with the low oxygen content in the water. looks kinda dark, maybe peat stained, that would account for low o2. seen the bog bodies from viking times? amazing level of preservation. and the germans were quite happy to use captured and superior t34's.
that tank was pulled out from Estonian swamp lake called Kurtna Mätasjärv 59°17′18.26″N 27°34′7.71″E
it is still in many parts and being restored. there are some financial issues and that`s why T34/76A isn`t assembled yet. maybe after 3 years we can see it in museum
Pulling WWII relics from swamps is big business in that part of the world as they can be sold for big money to collectors. The locals follow up any possible lead to find them however tenuous, so when a man metioned to a friend the fact that as a child he noticed a set of tracks leading to the swamp but not reappearing on the other side a group of locals probed the the swamp with long poles, they hit something solid and the rest is history.
For all the non believers, rust is actually, oxidisation, for oxidisation to occur you need oxygen. Peat bogs contain no oxygen, hence no oxidisation. The guy riding the tank isn't actually wearing a german Uniform, the tank was recovered from a breakaway Russian state and he is wearing old Soviet combat fatigues.
Hello FYI: After Regaining our Independence after 50+ years of soviet occupation, The Republic Of Estonia has many such buried tanks. There have been several such "recoveries" of Tanks from Estonia's swamps. As a Veteran of the Estonian Army I will ID the uniforms,The men around the tank wear a mixture of uniforms, soviet Afganks, Estonian Army, The Man in the turret is wearing Estonian Defense Forces BDU Cammo cap, the cammo patern is an off shoot of soviet m88 woodland.
At the end of the war in Estonia,The German forces were told to "Make sure that No one gets a hold of weaponry. Artillery etc was dumped into large bodies of water. Estonians wanted this weaponry as to fight on against the Soviets. Many national units fought in Estonia, so I do not know who abandoned it, yes some Estonians hid weapon's with the plans to continue fighting the Soviets, I do not know for a fact if this was one of them.
sometimes people find perfectly preserved bodies in bogs like that. it's not a stretch to think that something this heavy and made out of steel would last.
It looks more like a working museum piece that some bell end has driven into the bog. Lost since the war but with no rust,clear markings, fully fuctional tracks rollers spigots and bogie wheels!! Come on!!
But that is a complete rip-off from the german stg-44, just by replacing a part or two does not make it russian design nor invention!!! The stg-44 was originally designed for paratroop use, as a assault gun hence the term "stg - sturmgewehr" - "Sturmgewehr model 1944"!
Dude i get so sick of you people that dont know crap saying things like this. The germans use to pick up and use the SVT-40 and then they finaly copied it and made the G41 followed by the G43. The stg-44 also used russian design in both the sight design and the operating system. The two guns operate nothing alike. from the trigger, to the mag release to the bolt system. they both have pistol grips and banana mags thats about it. Also the recievers are 100% different.
The whole stg family is based on evaluation of captured Soviet SVT-38 and 40 semi-auto assault rifles came out years before and are the World's first assault rifles. AK still has lots of SVT features and possibly an evolution of their designs.
a blooody kid found it i can not belive it this beautiful peace of art work made from metal and stuff its like the monalisa bit like worth 10000000 billion times more to me like the spitfire supermarine
can some body tell me that we live in a world of beatuy in every corner or something we see
Was dumped there in... '44 or so I believe. But the lake was brackish, so there wasn't any rust or other problems that would cause it to become completely destroyed...
Abandoned during the Wehrmacht's retreat due to lack of petrol, I expect, or something being broken that could not be fixed quickly on the field - and with the Red Army advancing rapidly, they just wanted to get out of there, most likely. So they dumped it in the bog so that the Soviets couldn't use it or find it either.
If I recall correctly, the Germans were using this one and got encircled by the Russians, so they shoved it into a lake to keep it from getting recaptured.
What people don't always realize, is that Germany during WW2 would often capture enemy tanks and then turn around and use them against the forces that built them. Since a number of the Nazi tanks were slow to produce, or were really training tanks like the early panzers, it only made sense to do so.
There are 250.000 comments on YOU TUBE this Russian T34 "Nazi" tank but no comment from the person who was "FILMING". Its fake, restored T34 got bogged in. No Oxygen, no rust Blah Blah. The guy steering has a German WW2 cap on in part 2 of film they are reconstruction players,there are bubbles in Loch Ness Scotland but no Monster
its a tank recovery. they are saying NO WAY in amazment of the huge huge tracotr that has just pulled it out with no troubke. what an impressive tractor!
there is nothing to say it was there from the war if u watch the other films it is just a tank that they recovered from a lake. the driver prob went ott n got stuck and it sank of didnt realise the lake was so deep!!!!! this is ot a ww2 tank that has sat in a swamp for 60 years!
i seriously doubt that tank was in the bog since ww2, more like it got stuck and sank while being driven. ffs the tracks still turn, no way it could have been in a swamp all those years
A WW2 aircraft was lifted out of a boggy lake,in N.Ireland after it had been there for more than 40 years. The landing light still worked, the lettering and all the insignia was very clear and the tyres still had air in them.
As soon as the aircraft was recovered the undercarriage was able to be hand-cranked into the down position and the wings folded. One of the 0.50 calibre guns that was removed before the recovery was even test-fired by RUC forensics after it had been cleaned and inspected.
yea! my 7th grade science is paying off! i learned that all the pete boga in ireland,russia,and in that area have such a high amount of some chemical,that no bacteria or corrosion could occur because of. in ireland like 20 years ago they found a body in a bog that was,perfect, because no bactiria could grow on the body to decomose it,because of the acidity of the bog.true ask my science teacher!
Total BS. The tank was put there on purpose. Whats worth more? An original Russian T34 or a German captured T34???????? Do the math. The balken cross would have been long gone and corrosion would have set in on the metal. It was to close to the surface of the bog to be in that good of condition.
A theory perhaps some rich idiot tooks his toy for a run. The condition looks to good to have been in the water much more than a couple of weeks and how did they find it after 60 years and more? taking the rust factor out moving parts would have certainly been affected. Yet the tracks moved. You dont drive a tank into water to hide it you throw in a couple of stick,s of wood and light it.
The german forces captured a russian T-34 tank in WW2. The sign on the tower is the "Balkenkreuz". The germans sunk the tank in the sea, because they have no ammunition and fuel for it. It excist a book about the tanks that germany captured, It calls: Beutepanzer unterm Balkenkreuz.
I heard about this story and aparantly they were able to start the engine again. Id love to see a video of this. Does anyone have footage of the engine firing up?
Also I thought that was the german insignia on the side when they first pulled it out.
This must have been in during the German invasion of Russia. They ditched the tank when retreating back to Germany after the brutal Russian winter, Napolean made the same mistake. Its an amazing find and story here. I heard that it was in a peat bog, Peat has preserved many things in from the past, peat preservaiton has been very prevelent in Ireland and such, so we can see that it was well preserved.
wow shows what you know about corrosion seeing as you have given no explanation as to why it would be corroded "like hell".
swamps are full of decaying plant material whih releases carbon dioxide and methane an other organic compounds as it breaks down. the swamp would have very little oxygen in it so there's no reason the tank would corrode
This medium battle tank is a Beutepanzer (trophy/captured tank) from the "Grossdeutschland" PzGdr Division and can be identified as being a Soviet-made 1943 T-34/76E which is recognisable by a 1943 hexagonal turret and by the 1943 main production commander cupola. After resting at the bottom of a tiny Johvian Estonian lake for 56 years and after being pulled out of it on 2000/09/14, this T-34/76E still had oil in it and, after a small repair, it was still able to start its diesel engine!
maybe the Germans captured it, got drunk, painted the cross on the side, then dumped it in the lake cuz they ran out of gas. (this was followed by the goose step boogie)
Arrrggghhh. Anyone who thinks this tank has been underwater for 60 years is crazy! The true story was that this tank was being used in a film and someone got it stuck in the swamp so they recovered it, no great mystery!
What the? I posted two responses on hatakashi's comment... Anyway, look up the site achtungpanzer(dot)com/t34 there you will find most captured vehicles have huge crosses painted on them.
Alright, I see the tracks are NOT seized up. How the hell is that possible if it's been in there since WW2? The tranny and driveshaft and engine would all be shit and the tracks would not roll like new.
Read my entire post? German decals on it can be normal, yes, but these are quite small to be original. All captured tanks had huge swastikas and iron crosses painted on them, to prevent them being hit by friendly fire.
But they didn't normally do that to captured vehicles if you study the archive pictures carefully, very often the cross was tiny and quite poorly painted.
Also it's actually not uncommon to find WWII vehicles in bogs or riverbeds, especially on the Eastern front.
Yes !!! Absolutely right on the money. You see you have to be very careful driving around in an enemy tank alongside your own tanks.This needs no further explanation...lol
I presume you don't use your brain. If a reenactment group uses a T34 for their german reenactments, I suppose they don't let russian text or signs on it, do they... Well, if they have your braincapacity they might...
Now if only the T-34 pictured had been recently dumped in the bog, you might have had a point there. The fact of the matter is, that it indeed WAS NOT, and you, are still an idiot. : ) I've got plenty of photographic evidence of tanks such as this being recovered with markings in-tact. If you care to continue trying to argue with me, I can simply send you links. Would you like to see how wrong you are?
First of all, I've never said I was sure it is newer, but there is a lot of evidence pointing against it. I believe you saying the markings can be intact, even after 60 years. However, the markings don't look like normal German Balkenkreuz's found on captured vehicles in WW2. They are very small. Normally, Balkenkruez's whre painted huge to prevent friendly fire. I'll send you a link with more info and pictures ;)
I have heard somewhere that it was a "Trophy tank". That might have something to do with the small size of the markings. I don't know what they mean by "trophy tank", but I have seen it in more than one place.
It is very well possible this tank is original. But then again, why would the Germans have trophy tank in the middle of a bog? If I had captured the fear of all Pz. IV ausf. D's and Pz. III's, I would send it to Berlin for parades or so. In addition, I heard this tank was used in a movie, but they accidentally drove it into the bog.
Well, only Ivan knows wether it is old or not... ;P
What he means is there are no more "Soviets". Maybe your company is talking to "Russians"? Spend a little of that company money on education instead of posting smart ass responses. bwahahaha
I happen to know where FOUR tiger tanks are in Russia. They are at the bottom of a lake and my company is in current negotiations with the soviets to retrieve them.
rofl obviously they knew that it had German markings making it a very rare find cause they wore the appropriate uniforms for when it came out too funny
The condition is just remarkable ...

What people don't always realize, is that Germany during WW2 would often capture enemy tanks and then turn around and use them against the forces that built them. Since a number of the Nazi tanks were slow to produce, or were really training tanks like the early panzers, it only made sense to do so.

its a tank recovery. they are saying NO WAY in amazment of the huge huge tracotr that has just pulled it out with no troubke. what an impressive tractor!
there is nothing to say it was there from the war if u watch the other films it is just a tank that they recovered from a lake. the driver prob went ott n got stuck and it sank of didnt realise the lake was so deep!!!!! this is ot a ww2 tank that has sat in a swamp for 60 years!

i seriously doubt that tank was in the bog since ww2, more like it got stuck and sank while being driven. ffs the tracks still turn, no way it could have been in a swamp all those years

A WW2 aircraft was lifted out of a boggy lake,in N.Ireland after it had been there for more than 40 years. The landing light still worked, the lettering and all the insignia was very clear and the tyres still had air in them.
As soon as the aircraft was recovered the undercarriage was able to be hand-cranked into the down position and the wings folded. One of the 0.50 calibre guns that was removed before the recovery was even test-fired by RUC forensics after it had been cleaned and inspected.

yea! my 7th grade science is paying off! i learned that all the pete boga in ireland,russia,and in that area have such a high amount of some chemical,that no bacteria or corrosion could occur because of. in ireland like 20 years ago they found a body in a bog that was,perfect, because no bactiria could grow on the body to decomose it,because of the acidity of the bog.true ask my science teacher!
rushrocks125678 3 years ago
Total BS. The tank was put there on purpose. Whats worth more? An original Russian T34 or a German captured T34???????? Do the math. The balken cross would have been long gone and corrosion would have set in on the metal. It was to close to the surface of the bog to be in that good of condition.

A theory perhaps some rich idiot tooks his toy for a run. The condition looks to good to have been in the water much more than a couple of weeks and how did they find it after 60 years and more? taking the rust factor out moving parts would have certainly been affected. Yet the tracks moved. You dont drive a tank into water to hide it you throw in a couple of stick,s of wood and light it.

The german forces captured a russian T-34 tank in WW2. The sign on the tower is the "Balkenkreuz". The germans sunk the tank in the sea, because they have no ammunition and fuel for it. It excist a book about the tanks that germany captured, It calls: Beutepanzer unterm Balkenkreuz.

zachary736 3 years ago
This must have been in during the German invasion of Russia. They ditched the tank when retreating back to Germany after the brutal Russian winter, Napolean made the same mistake. Its an amazing find and story here. I heard that it was in a peat bog, Peat has preserved many things in from the past, peat preservaiton has been very prevelent in Ireland and such, so we can see that it was well preserved.

55 years in a swamp, they are pulling it out, it even has the original color, the tracks still work and why not, the engine is working to!
believe me, after 55 years in mud and water, it would be correded like hell
kray909 3 years ago
wow shows what you know about corrosion seeing as you have given no explanation as to why it would be corroded "like hell".
swamps are full of decaying plant material whih releases carbon dioxide and methane an other organic compounds as it breaks down. the swamp would have very little oxygen in it so there's no reason the tank would corrode

Mod 43 turret. Very rare model these days
tonidmc 4 years ago
This medium battle tank is a Beutepanzer (trophy/captured tank) from the "Grossdeutschland" PzGdr Division and can be identified as being a Soviet-made 1943 T-34/76E which is recognisable by a 1943 hexagonal turret and by the 1943 main production commander cupola. After resting at the bottom of a tiny Johvian Estonian lake for 56 years and after being pulled out of it on 2000/09/14, this T-34/76E still had oil in it and, after a small repair, it was still able to start its diesel engine!

maybe the Germans captured it, got drunk, painted the cross on the side, then dumped it in the lake cuz they ran out of gas. (this was followed by the goose step boogie)

Peat blocked the oxygen from getting to the metal and rusting it. Cut the "it's fake" youtube shit.

Alright, I see the tracks are NOT seized up. How the hell is that possible if it's been in there since WW2? The tranny and driveshaft and engine would all be shit and the tracks would not roll like new.

I don't know, was it really lost 60 years ago? Reasons to doubt:
- A T34 is tought, but to survive 60 years under water without any signs of rust?
-The T34 has german decals on it. A man dressed up as a german soldier sits in the tank --> reenactment group?
-The german decals are to small. Captured T34 had huge iron crosses painted on them, so friendly troups wouldn't fire on them
I think that a reenactment group accidentally lost this T34, and is now recovering it
fritzderochebrune 4 years ago
Germans did capture T34s during WWII and used those are their own so having german decals on is perfectly normal.
hatakashi1900 4 years ago 2
Read my entire post? German decals on it can be normal, yes, but these are quite small to be original. All captured tanks had huge swastikas and iron crosses painted on them, to prevent them being hit by friendly fire.
fritzderochebrune 4 years ago
But they didn't normally do that to captured vehicles if you study the archive pictures carefully, very often the cross was tiny and quite poorly painted.
Also it's actually not uncommon to find WWII vehicles in bogs or riverbeds, especially on the Eastern front.
hatakashi1900 4 years ago
Yes !!! Absolutely right on the money. You see you have to be very careful driving around in an enemy tank alongside your own tanks.This needs no further explanation...lol
ZerokillerOppel 4 years ago
And how do you assume the cross got there? Someone put on scuba gear, went into the bog, and painted it on? You have a brain, use it.
PanzerAngriff 4 years ago
I presume you don't use your brain. If a reenactment group uses a T34 for their german reenactments, I suppose they don't let russian text or signs on it, do they... Well, if they have your braincapacity they might...
fritzderochebrune 4 years ago
Now if only the T-34 pictured had been recently dumped in the bog, you might have had a point there. The fact of the matter is, that it indeed WAS NOT, and you, are still an idiot. : ) I've got plenty of photographic evidence of tanks such as this being recovered with markings in-tact. If you care to continue trying to argue with me, I can simply send you links. Would you like to see how wrong you are?
PanzerAngriff 4 years ago
First of all, I've never said I was sure it is newer, but there is a lot of evidence pointing against it. I believe you saying the markings can be intact, even after 60 years. However, the markings don't look like normal German Balkenkreuz's found on captured vehicles in WW2. They are very small. Normally, Balkenkruez's whre painted huge to prevent friendly fire. I'll send you a link with more info and pictures ;)
PS Nice pictures you send me ;)
fritzderochebrune 4 years ago
I have heard somewhere that it was a "Trophy tank". That might have something to do with the small size of the markings. I don't know what they mean by "trophy tank", but I have seen it in more than one place.
PanzerAngriff 4 years ago
It is very well possible this tank is original. But then again, why would the Germans have trophy tank in the middle of a bog? If I had captured the fear of all Pz. IV ausf. D's and Pz. III's, I would send it to Berlin for parades or so. In addition, I heard this tank was used in a movie, but they accidentally drove it into the bog.
Well, only Ivan knows wether it is old or not... ;P
fritzderochebrune 4 years ago
Well, I know also, because I saw the pictures and closeups of the insignia. ; ) Only an idiot could argue against the presented facts.
