T34 Tank rescued from the marshland

[thegreysniper]

wish i could find cool stuff like this were i live lol but alas, no country has ever had the balls to bring war to americas doorstep

[SHELLHEAD1961]

I just bought a book called, Strange but True Military Facts, by Steve Crawford. On page 7 it says that Russia deployed a total of 108,700 tanks during WW-2 and that of those, 76.8% (83,500) were lost in combat. So there's alot more old WW-2 tanks to be found.

Put some gas in her and she's good to go.

[nakazatoGTR]

lol fire the ammo see if it still shoots lol



[GLAORleader]

You know your weapons are good when your enemys start prefering it over their own........

[1255wolf]

the driver of the bulldozer wasnt slow and careful he slamed the peedle down and hauled ass

[Gtingboy]

must of been a woman driver

[THEZESTIFY]

the russians made the t34 but how come there is a german insugnia on it

[vikajhn]

@THEZESTIFY TheGermans tried coping the T-34 and used captured ones against the Soviets.

[timmytyphoon]

@THEZESTIFY The germans and the russians commonly used captured equipment against eachother and then ditched it when it was no longer useful anymore.

[TrainGuy33]

How Do You Find These?

[cannrickyf14]

always that i see a relic tank video or airplane, i feel antonish and very happy because its like take a piece of history back to the present to preserve the memories

[mananachronism]

I want it!

[OutdoorSurvivalist1]

Well its Russian, so put some gas in and take her for a spin. Those things are built to last =)

[TheF86Sabre]

Dam, the tracks are still moving, that's amazing!

[pgcracker82]

After being abandoned so long, if a private citizen or group reclaimed the tank would they now own it or would the government?

[einherje71]

Fantastic video.

Thanks a lot for sharing. I hope they repair it and that people can see it at a museum.

[pranker121]

One Day I cant remember when, my friend and his dad went to Leningrad Russia to visit family. And one day they went swimming in a near-by lake. they swam for at least for 30 minutes (going in and out) and then my friends dad felt something scratch his foot and it eventually started to bleed. He got his diving kit and dived down to uncover the remains of a Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf E short name is The Tiger 1, Eventually they pulled it out and put it a Museum I think you can visit it today...

[DSVetDad]

@pranker121 Yeeeeeeeeeah, and we're supposed to believe this from someone called "pranker121"?

[Crais000]

Is she working now? She would be a really unique vehicle if she does, a running T34-76!

[scaronmybum]

true but cooling fans have been sorted now so wont be long

[theblacksheep1000]

VERY COOL! And I bet it would start right up!

[b26marauderpilot]

That T-34 has German markings on it. No doubt it was captured and put into service by Germany. This was not at all uncommon.

[slyrader1]

so thats what are forefathers were doing

[scaronmybum]

bovington tank museum in the UK also has a 100% working tiger tank only one in the world in running order

[GeneralNutcase]

@scaronmybum It doesn't work for now due to it's hurt engine poor Tiger doesn't deserve the break down

[TheZeke1974]

It is in AMAZINGLY good condition!!!!!

[pogpog28]

No other engineering tops the GERMAN ENGINEERING!

[TheZeke1974]

@pogpog28 Yup i agree!!!!!

[guywiththehair1]

@pogpog28

It's clearly a russian T34 (one of the most famous tanks in history), the german markings just mean it was a captured tank.

[jetwagon]

@pogpog28 its a russian tank

[Varo9100]

@pogpog28 its a russian t34, either copied or captured from them by the germans, and the mud keeps oxygen out and preserves the metal for long periods of time

[Moution23]

@pogpog28 So why they was using a Russian tank?

[timmytyphoon]

@Moution23 The russians and the germans would often use captured equipment against eachother. It was common practise to capture a russian tank, paint the iron cross on it and use it until it wasnt useful anymore and then ditch it.

[teeroux]

@pogpog28 its a Russian tank.

[Hatinonthehaters]

@pogpog28 Ok but what does it have to do with this video?

[hasturhasturhastur]

@pogpog28 Yup, finest German T34 I ever did see, must be special Germain paint.

[fakecoreytaylor]

@hasturhasturhastur T34 is a Russian tank, looks like it was captured by germans

[TTAKM1]

Это трофейный немецкий Т-34.

[Trashcansam123]

Imagine if it just slides right back in 

[animalian01]

bleeding hell that came out at speed



[thegoosebrain]

OK...stop beating up on the Russian. If they say they have 3 Tigers in Russia I believe them. After all, 9/10ths of the tiger production went to the Eastern Front.

[stillstartreking]

wtf german cross on the back?

[MrXclio]

@stillstartreking germany sometimes put captured tanks into service.

[Helenabeto]

holy madonna, how did they find this thing!!!

[commanderwalker13]

lets see comander hide your tank in that swamp those damn russians will never find their tank again. decades later some guy just see this video and screams oh shit

[MisterLEM0NS]

Its a captured T-34, the german insignia is still on the turret and hull. Even loaded with german ammunition like armor piercing, armor piercing composite, and what looks like a few high explosives. 60 years under water covered in erosive mud and still rolls like a ball, leave it to russia...

[nick21sammy]

apparently after a little tinkering, new oil and fuel, they managed to get the engine running again. True Russian craftmanship

[riverman33]

Well done comrades !!

[thegoosebrain]

Unfortunately is wasn't a German Tiger or Panther tank. The world has an endless supply of T34's to restore .

[DJMikaelito]

@thegoosebrain

Russia has 2 real tiger tanks and 3 king tigers tanks....even some 140+ german armor tank still availabe and most of them are for the public in a Russian tank museum dont rememeber the name trought.....

[scrapper1280]

@DJMikaelito Russia doesnt have any real tiger tanks. The only real tiger tank left is in Bovington in devon.

[DJMikaelito]

@scrapper1280

you stupid faggot google it if you dont believe me. 3 real tank tigers are available and working in Russia 2 of them are part of the Mosfilm movie productions.

or try to find it in youtube....Russian tank museum is huge its near Moscow....

[scrapper1280]

@DJMikaelito Thanks for just randomly offending me. There is only 1 WORKING tiger in the world is in bovington. The others use modern engines ect to run them they dont use the original engines or they are replicas. The one in bovington uses all original parts taken from Kingtigers, Panthers, and numerous other non-running tigers. I didnt mean to say that there are no originals left i meant to say there are no WORKING tanks left. Its my fault for wording what i meant wrong.

[scrapper1280]

@DJMikaelito Continued last post...

And maybe those are replicas on T-34 chassis because I looked up Mosfilm movies and I found they own replicas built on other tank chassis but nowhere could find what chassis but most of them are built on T-34 chassis because T-34 is so easy to modify.

[DJMikaelito]

@scrapper1280

3 Tiger tanks exist in Russia as we speak....1 of them are in museum 2ond i build up and 3d is used for movies.....google it

[DSVetDad]

@DJMikaelito There is only 1 running tiger left on earth, and it's in Bovington tank museum and has never been used for a movie. I believe you might be mistaken...

[DJMikaelito]

@DSVetDad

no you are mistaken i have a relative living in russia and he was in the tank museum and he saw the tank.

[DSVetDad]

@DJMikaelito Okay then, your relative needs to take a picture and/or video of this working Tiger I Tank and post it on Wikipedia then because they state there is ony ONE in the world and it's not in Russia.

[DJMikaelito]

@DSVetDad

ask google nab im tired of wikipedia freaks.....anybody can post in wikipedia you should know that....but propably your a small kido.

[DSVetDad]

@DJMikaelito I'm 39 years old, so not a kiddo..I hope you are right that there ARE more Tiger I's in running condition, but if you are going to make a bold statement telling me that I am mistaken, then prove me wrong with pictures or a video.

[DJMikaelito]

@DSVetDad

as i sayed before use google....type then moscow tank museum or something like that im not going to post here the link + i cant post it here :/

[DSVetDad]

@DJMikaelito I will do that, thanks!!

[DJMikaelito]

@DSVetDad

Ok the tank museum name is KUBINKA every tank there is real no makets or fake tanks everything is real + including tiger tanks here is a video watch?v=bkc4lZeI9fI there is a real tiger tank....that museum is the only museum that has 100% real tiger tanks including even a maus tank....thats because germans used 85-95% of theyr technics and troops avaible at eastern front. + conclusion is yours. but i must say a huge thanks to Russians that they keep and preserve those beasts !

[Elgrande555]

@DJMikaelito ...thanks for the link. I always knew that there survived a lot of those Panzer on Russian territory...or had been brought there for examination...However...your museaum link is the proof!

[DJMikaelito]

@DSVetDad

if you cant use link tell me so i sent you it via pm.

[animalian01]

shows just how big the caterpiller is,makes the T34 look small

[nekedemus]

Think It´s a good idea to change the oil before starting it up again. But then it should be good for another 70 years.

[murderdoll9191]

Such an amazing find!

[woodchuck2222]

Seems to be a lot of these tanks found in swamps, they are in great condition considering too. I would like to know what they pulled it out with. The speed and power they pulled that tank out was impressive.

[Marcel15051988]

@woodchuck2222 i think it was the caterpillar you can see at 4:25

[CumbyOnThePiss]

@woodchuck2222 its a D6 or D9 Caterpillar dozer.

[MKAustriaPower]

hah! got captured by wehrmacht

[PatCarry]

Another cool find! Amazing how good it looks. As its being pulled along the road in the forest you can just imagine it 60 years ago traveling through that same forest in battle!
