Shame, these belong in museums, or at least driving in someone's collection. It's a pitty they're just rusting away, and being gutted for their steel.
This is why you should always ask for a Carfax. The dealer tells you it was owned by the widow of an SS Sturmbannfuhrer who only drove it to party rallies on Sundays, and then after you get it home you find out it was buried in Bulgaria for the last 50 years and they rolled the odometer back.
It looks like they used those tanks to form a defensive artillery line, like the Maginot line in france. Posibly they could not keep the tanks running for a lack in spare pieces. Instead they tried to use them as simple artillery pieces.
I hope they offered the Panzer IV's to the restoration community before they decide to chop them up and sell them for scrap value which would be peanuts.A good hull and turret would fetch a very high price indeed.
@jquill23 The song is 'Ernie' by Fat Freddy's Drop, a band from Wellington, New Zealand. This was from the number one selling album of 2005 (in New Zealand!) 'Based on a True Story' Very smooth!
Any idea what they are going to do those tanks? It would be sad to see those tanks rust away or be melted down for some other BS. They could at least salvage what party they can for other tanks that are being restored, or combine what parts that they have to make at least one working tank wiht some spare parts.
Weren't these auctioned off in May of 2011, or it may have been May 2010. I remember seeing something about that. I believe the starting price was £100,000. I also remember that a leading military figure got busted for assisting in the smuggling of old German AFV's similar to these to some Russian dealers/Collectors. I'm pretty sure these tanks were used to guard along the line separating Bulgaria/Turkey after WW2 and were in use up to the 80's. Brilliant upload, thanks for sharing it
@Mainsail76 They shurely heard of it, but they had a much more effective strategy: they simply changed the sides 7 mths before the end of war& joined the allied forces. Simply as that..
@Mainsail76 Our defensive line was during the Cold War and the tanks that were put in it were old PZ III/IV and T-34 85. Our main battle tanks were of course not positionned there, although in case of a Turkish attack, most likely we were going to loose. Even the Russians might have trouble stopping the Turks, they are very good.
Not shame......These things will be used as a reminders for the new generation,so that they have an idea and lesson so that it will not happen again in the future...better preserve this,because the new generation will love to watch this german engineered tanks ..
The German BND is the renamed 3rd Reich GESTAPO.The BND had organized the delegate Scheuermann of our county to visit or home.To allow him to personally experience how my brother and our patents had been tortured.The BND continued to torture my brother.He was assassinated on July 11th2009.Half a year after the assassination of my brother the CDU delegate Mappus from our district town Pforzheim was made prime minister of the German land of Baden Würtemberg
@yutufyoursel I wonder if they did what the russians did, had holes the tanks would sit in (lower their profile) so they were like fixed turrets but they could drive up a ramp and out on a moment's notice to go on the offensive. Pretty smart those Russians
@CanadianReich yeah, how did that strategity work for Saddam in the the first gulf war ? probably using the same advise from the "smart Russians" ................. :)
@CanadianReich i am sure it did, but the over all idea of burying tanks (which goes against the very idea what they were designed for) in earthen mounds makes absolutely no sense.......
@inkmanmac I agree...unless of course your tank is busted but the turret still works. I heard that many front line german tanks in this area stopped working..... some due to cold, some due to parts, but the turret could likely still fire no? If moving I still like the Russian's idea. Hide in ambush, get a few shots off, then drive out. It wasnt burried but rather you drive down a ramp so the profile of the tank is nominal- the enemy cant hit you but you can hit them.
we had 6 Maybah at the turkish border duged in.2 of them got stolen,no one knows how.now the rest got stored and i hope allso they get restored beause it shame not to save them,but nothing is for sure over here,toomany corrupt govermen pigs that only try to do good for them fuckin selfs,that is the sad truth my friends.fag with no respect for the history.
i really love this machines, this German engineered panzer tanks is a masterpiece ,,this relics are part of human history..better put this all to museum..i know everybody will love to watch this precious machines..
man that is awesome! i really hope they didnt just scrap all of them, quite a few were in restorable shape, the STUG III (i think it was a III) and Jagdpanzer were in especially remarkable shape. not much in the interior remaining but you dont see that very often in a museum anyway. pretty amazing, awesome video!
at 22 seconds i think thats an early production Soviet T34, or at least just a T34 turret. the front dosent match a T34 turret, but the rest seems pretty close....strange. will have to do some looking into that.
Neither. If they just left the tank sitting on the ground it would present a bigger target. They likely dug the hole and then drove the tank in, then took off the tracks, drive wheels, bogeys, etc. since they didn't need to move. Being dug in ("hull down") gives more protection to the crew, and only leaves some of the thickest armour on the tank for the enemy to aim at.
This is just sad. Seeing those poor war machines decay and die. I would have them recovered and taken to a tank restorer to get them refitted and reused.
you know, alot of these hulks still have the engines and gear boxes in them, the ones that are dug in, the hull and suspentions are probly untouched except probly by rust. these would be actually fairly easy to restore compared to most. A sandblaster, welder, grinder, paint gun, heavy lift, and an imagination and some fabrication skills and mechanical insight, probly a team could get it running in a few years. biggest problem would be parts.
Interesting how they used them for bunkers like that. Too bad it looks like theirs not much left to restore. Probably some good parts here and there though.
@MrBRITBRIGHT No it is not... they are the property of Bulgaria... most these tanks had been sold to them after the war. That's like saying my 1944 Jeep imported from California is owned by the US even though it is mine and its in the UK...
@hetsar I know...just kidding about spoils of war and victors claiming everything. No worries. I wish I could afford to restore one these tanks. I made several models of them when I was a kid and they were always my favorite. Not sure if you have seen the video of tanks found in a swamp fully covered by mud. They pulled one out washed it and with a little bit of work had the turret and gun movable in a short time. Well preserved.
kick ass lots of panzers and some russian too i wisj i was ther to help sad that most of the drive gears were gone already fuckin scrappers bet you could build a few complete ones out of all them
@Tokatt Why a museum? Museums are full of it. And transporting and restorating all those tanks and other vehicles is very expensive. Thats why most of these stuff still lies there. Its not unique anymore, there are thousands of those tanks .
@bordkrijt I do think it's important to preserve, rather than forget our history though. So, if possible, as many of these as possible should be preserved. The actual objects and locations involved in history make far more of an impact on future generations than reading about it in a book ever could. "This was used to kill people"- that thought really makes it real for people. If not, I think they could at least be used to recycle the steel!
@RaptorDiablo Makes it harder to hit the tank and the turret is usually the most armored piece of the machine.
It is indeed cool but it's also somewhat funny, since the tank is made to be a turret that walks around and then they simply "downgrade" them back to a stationary turret lol.
@icarus88 thanks for your comments, I have seen a video of the working king tiger, amazing old machinery and it still works! You should definitely visit the bovington museum if you can! They have one of the best collections in the world
Wow, here in England we have one of the only 2 or 3 working german tiger tanks in the world! Engineers at bovington museum fully rebuilt it with the help of an ex panzer mk5 driver! I have seen it and it's awesome!
Only exist one Tiger 1 in running conditions in all world , Bovington example ,
Only exist one Tiger 2 in running conditions in all world , Samur example in France ,
Exist many Panthers in Running conditions in the world , France , Britain , United States , Germany , Rusia are some of the countries with Museums and private Collectors with real Panzers V "Panther" in running conditions , this tanks in Bulgaria are Pz4s , Stug3 and some Jagdpz4 , Exist many medium Panzers.
In Germany one Panther uses one MTU modern diesel Engine "Munster Example"
Many Panthers survive in French Army service and Britain investigation test , some Panzers 3 and 4 survived in Turkish , Spanish , Swiss , Bulgarian , Czech , Hungarian , Finland , French , some armies uses this tanks for one short time and many were used like targets in the end , but Panzer 4 are the most used in postwar , the last Pz4 "Syrian" fight in Golan Height vs Centurions and Shermans of IDF
Nice little treasure you have there...was always wondering where all those wonderful German tanks which had been left behind in the east or after the war had disappeared to.... Opa aufsitzen! (-;
Bulgarian army use 88 panzers IV some Stugs and Panzerjagers even in postwar service , the Tigers in postwar were used to made new armor in T54/55 lines on rusia and Centurions in occidental lines.
other were melted to made trains , cars , ships....
lol can people can stop complaining about scrap metal hunters, if the armys of ww2 didnt want their tanks being cut up and sold for scrap they wouldnt have left them there, i joke, and besides there is surviving, fully restored relics of just about every vehicle from just about every war, you cant restore every single tank ever made
ohhhh damn i will look in this Area wit my Metaldetector....but nice the Panzer III, PZ IV, STUGIII &IV, Jagdpanzer IV....very nice.....pls where is it in Bulgaria?
@Falke40lg Hi. It was for defending against the Turks. Turkey had the 2nd biggest army in NATO and it was a big problem for us. That's why we had 5000 tanks and we put old German tanks and T-34 in the boarder.
But I am not sure if those tanks are able to penetrare their armour, otherwise we would of have counted on our T-55s and T-72s only.
Genius even the Soviet Union use the old IS 3 as defence line in borders with China , Kuril islands and Austria use the old M47 as static points and are only one last mode to use one TURRET with one Gun , not one superfortress line , Daaaa Daaaaa Daaaaaa
You know there are alot of parts there? They could take the good stuff and I bet with the proper info they could build a few examples with all those parts! I'm curious,which way were the guns facing,towards what country?
Just shows you, we on this earth for such a short time, all the soldiers who drove these tanks are now with God

lol can people can stop complaining about scrap metal hunters, if the armys of ww2 didnt want their tanks being cut up and sold for scrap they wouldnt have left them there, i joke, and besides there is surviving, fully restored relics of just about every vehicle from just about every war, you cant restore every single tank ever made

Some of them appear to have been dug into the earth. The Syrians did the same in the Golan heights. No doubt to face a Turkish threat.

You think it is to defend against the Turks ...? HaHaHa
Falke40lg 7 months ago
@Falke40lg Hi. It was for defending against the Turks. Turkey had the 2nd biggest army in NATO and it was a big problem for us. That's why we had 5000 tanks and we put old German tanks and T-34 in the boarder.
But I am not sure if those tanks are able to penetrare their armour, otherwise we would of have counted on our T-55s and T-72s only.

Genius even the Soviet Union use the old IS 3 as defence line in borders with China , Kuril islands and Austria use the old M47 as static points and are only one last mode to use one TURRET with one Gun , not one superfortress line , Daaaa Daaaaa Daaaaaa
