WW2 tank Rescued and Restored

[Weesel71]

She sure cleaned up nicely.... Well done to all.

[SHELLHEAD1961]

I have a book called, Strange but True Military Facts, and on page 7 it says that Russia deployed 108,700 tanks in WW-2 and of those that 76.8% (83,500) were lost during combat. So, there are alot more old tanks to be found.

[foodafokkarez]

Fully restored and it moves like nothing ever happened to it., amazing.

[trappersgetmorebeav]

awesome video that tank is in amazing condition

[Pz4AusfH]

[konigstiger100]

[Squarerig]

[SrDonCosmo]

Thanks For Saving History!!!

[GenDaber]

why the hell are they playing 'Rammstein - Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen?" ?? :D

[RazgrizKnight]

i bet the KV is feelin great now that it's been pulled out of the muck that it's 'comrades' left it in for so long :/

[veebic]

its great!you did a great job with this recuperation.how long did it take to retart the engine? how was it in his general condition?

Again great work!

you should be proud!

[jetwagon]

If you fools watch a bunch of these videos where they pull a tank from a bog you will see that tha tracks almost ALWAYS work. Whether it's a Russian or German tank. It's got nothing to do with "engineering". It's the conditions of the bog that preserve the running gear.

If they don't turn then they hose off the mud ,put it in nuetral and pull it with a tractor to get them turning. No big deal.

[Utgardson]

@jetwagon That's the point.

[jetwagon]

@Utgardson ?????? It is? you have no clue why I posted that.

[Utgardson]

@jetwagon I don't get it. In fact you're just right. It's all about the bog. Nearly no oxygen = preserved metal. Anything else? It makes no difference if it is a german or a russian tank.

Even my bicycle should survive a few decades in a bog with analogous conditions.

[jetwagon]

@Utgardson My point was.....Every one of these kinds of videos has at least one post by some one claiming it's the famous "German engineering" or the "Russian technology" that is responsible for the excellent condition of the vehicle. Some also claim that Americans tanks wouldn't have survived a week in those conditions. I shouldn't let those clowns get to me....I should know better ,but making fun of people on the internet is fun....and it makes me feel better about myself!

[Vanyaaynav]

@jetwagon Really in such conditions the German or Russian technics could remain only

[jetwagon]

@Vanyaaynav Hey Ivan , can you try saying that again in english? Because I think you're trying to insult our tanks but I'm not quite sure. Maybe you could lay off the vodka for a few days and then try again.

[Vanyaaynav]

@jetwagon I did not speak about the American tanks.... You are on drugs and consequently you not in a condition to understand that or...)))

[jetwagon]

@Vanyaaynav Condolences, to put it chiefly. The drugs are there when placed in the system. but not good. We know not the effects to the fullest idea,where ever they occur. and rest assured the blame lies with you and not others. Understand? Also...it's crackers to slip the rozzer a dropsy in snide. or to that effect. o.k.

[Vanyaaynav]

@jetwagon The American children at the age of 5 years use energizers of various kinds. I am not surprised that in America every second person has a drug dependence.Your behaviour reminds narcotic delirium of the sick person...

[jetwagon]

@Vanyaaynav In Russia, every woman gives birth to an eight pound bottle of vodka. Which is then passed around to all the children. When the chidren vomit they are forced to eat it with a straw. While the adults laugh and throw peanuts at them . Like monkeys at the zoo. True story.

[Vanyaaynav]

@jetwagon In Russia there is no peanut - it in the American style. And in general at us speak that each American suffers adiposity and goes to a toilet without removing trousers... Also Americans think that Coca-Cola and hamburgers grow on trees them break and bring to McDonald's. And that that in America the big level narcodependent and alcoholics - it truth of your severe life... From your television.

[jetwagon]

@Vanyaaynav haHAAAA! good one you S.O.B! You think you're crazy?!? I'll show ya crazy!!!Crazy American.that's me. Coming thru with my ENERGY DRINK AND MY DRUGS YUP YUP!!!! I'M 100 LBS. OVERWEIGHT AND I DRIVE MY GAS GUZZLING SUV TO THE END OF MY DRIVWAY TO GET THE MAIL. I'M SO LAZY i STICK MY NOSE OUT THE WINDOW TO LET THE WIND BLOW IT. tHE ONLY EXERCISE I GET ISWHEN MY SKIN CRAWLS LOOKIN AT YOUR MOMS VAG!! GODDAMMIT WHERES MY GUN!!!!! enjoy your counterfit levis ivan.

[Vanyaaynav]

@jetwagon I have learnt you, you Butt-Head...))))))))

[sarge242]

@Vanyaaynav why dont you come over and take us out then..why??? because you cant !!!!!!!! soviets bahhhhhh bunch o potato eating and drinking fools

[Vanyaaynav]

@sarge242 You write from the house for madwomen. Your thoughts are primitive also I am not surprised to it...))) I Hope you recover and awake to speak in normal human language... Work over itself and you awake more close to human shape...))) your name Beavis?)))

[Vanyaaynav]

@Utgardson The wheel base of this tank was in a dirt and bog, but the top part was in silt, tank hatches have been opened water and silt means were in the tank. Any metal can well remain in this condition, but at lifting on a surface and at interaction with oxygen not any metal will keep the properties because there is a reaction destruction by metal corrosion. (72 shells)

[fuckobama4]

@jetwagon good info, thanks. this is my second videos of this type.

[Rayelth]

Yeah... I remember getting drunk and driving my tank into the water too.

[RocketTCoyote]

Quite an amazing find.

[Shade741]

People asked about the song- it is - LUBE- Davai za

[nyctasiaselesq]

@Shade741 Is this song featured in 9 Rota?

[proffesorcaresser]

I was gonna complain they were taking too long, but then I saw all the ammunition.....

[Touification]

KV-1.

[firglenchainsaws]

No problem with engine,T55 engine is virtually identical. Transmission would be a bugger as even when new the KV1 gearbox was crap and drivers had difficulty changing gear unless the tank was almost stationary! I worked with retired soviet army mechanic in 1980s,he told me many stories about these old tanks.

[Vanyaaynav]

@firglenchainsaws Your familiar mechanic understands in the Soviet tanks, as the ballerina in the quantum physics...))) On tank KV-1 stood engine V-2K.The tank to be in working order after 70 years under water and this best proof of high quality.

[Morran09]

@Vanyaaynav No way that the engine is still working after 70 years... not without major repairs.

[Vanyaaynav]

@Morran09 Certainly engine repair was.... Only the silly person can believe that the tank will go at once. Now such engines do not let out, therefore this engine has been completely disassembled, engine details have been resulted in a working condition and then all engine have collected. Then it has earned...

[zagstrukk]

@Vanyaaynav The engine was rebuilt. As long as the engine block is fine you can rebuild it and get it to work.

[Vanyaaynav]

@zagstrukk Read my previous comments where it is written that this engine was is disassembled, cleared, collected and has started to work.... As well other units, wheel base, a reducer and another.... Nobody confirms that have pulled out it from water and it has gone.... So absolutely clever person can think only not.... (Replacements of units were not because these engines for a long time already do not let out)

[1ownjoo2]

@Vanyaaynav

Really ? You honestly think that engine is original ? You do relise it was restored correct ? My guess is its only 70% original, and original being the block

[TheGodParticle]

Wow! Great post.

[MrRichardchisholm]

heheh....Rammstein



[mattd28]

awesome!

[almirantenegro]

congratulations historic movie !

[TheHrt5]

Omg, they managed to restore it....

[MichaelHuntington]

I wish I could do this.

[zahudum]

Pulling 60 yr old highly deteriorated ordnance from this tank took balls of steel.

These guys are all bosses

[hotdude23]

@VladVonThad THANK U

[roy99669]

how did they get it to work again?

[hotdude23]

anyone know the name of the song.. thanks

[davetileguy]

@hotdude23 ever heard of song ID?

[survivalaustralia01]

out standing well done, it is an honour to thoes who served and gave

[mememojo]

i want one!

[TheRobin53]

Tanks for sharing!

[elwiz81]

a oni mówią my byli nie gotowi a ciężkie tanki mieli;/

[vietnamguy1223]

in soviet russia tank restors you

[wwwtotalitaerde]

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

The CDU is the ruling party in Germany

[Tiger313NL]

@wwwtotalitaerde You make total sense... (not). Need moar tinfoil hats!

[wwwtotalitaerde]

@Tiger313NL In this case you may want to see my video

Soldaten: Protokolle vom Kämpfen, Töten und Sterben. Ein Buch von Sönke Neitzel und Harald Welzer

By the way, did the Germans give back the bikes they stole from your people during the war?

Probably not. Just like the property they stole from Jews and which still belong to the German state and its snitchers.

[Tiger313NL]

@wwwtotalitaerde Germany paid war damages, and we have moved on from there. We may still joke about our grandma's bicycle now and then, but it's more joking about then anything. Because seriously, World War 2 is 67 years ago... why hold grudges when we can prosper working together?

[wwwtotalitaerde]

@Tiger313NL Except for prince Friso. His accident happened right after Netherlands television won in a German court after being impeached for filming a Nazi murderer in his room in a nursing home.

Regarding the effort of the German legal administration to suppress such recordings of criminals, even if caught red handed in violent attacks, this is an astonishing success and a very serious blow for the German BND, the renamed 3rd Reich GESTAPO.

[TheMegashark9]

first statement they got it out and the question how did it end up in the lake.

[JavaLuCpp]

@TheMegashark9 is just like you would find American tanks in the shore of D day landing site. It was transported over water, the transporter must sunk some how.

[Vanyaaynav]

@JavaLuCpp If you understood Russian, you would understand on what this tank was transported. This tank has been placed on a raft made of a tree, the rests of a wooden raft have been taken from water, it stirred(prevented) вытаскиванию the tank from water. I do not think that М-4 would be kept in sea water.

[JavaLuCpp]

@Vanyaaynav well, anyway, point was that the tank floated, however nice point with Russian using wooden craft to transport it. Though M4 would be fine in seawater as long as it was covered in enough mud and not much sea creature growing on it. Many WWII plane with paper thin construction is still being salvaged from the harbor today, im sure a tank with few inch thickness would do just as well.

[Vanyaaynav]

@JavaLuCpp Probably...... But planes demand a plenty of units full of replacement, the Tank is exposed to smaller corrosion and smaller replacement of units, besides sea seaweed allocate the certain chemical compound destroying the reservation. The structure of sea water also differs from structure of fresh water.

[BTT125]

Чудесная работа! Поздравления вам из Болгарии!

[RovingCounter]

Glad they are able to save these.

[12jsteve]

Excellent job - I would love to have been involved with this.

[smilingscottsman]

This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[CannibalCarp]

Wow a KV I. A great piece of military history. Great post also.

[RovingCounter]

So, if I soak steel in water it wont rust??

[snickerstorino]

@RovingCounter there is oxygen in water too so yes it can rust. if its buried in mud it is more preserved however, thats my guess.

[iroscoe]

@snickerstorino I think mud is the key element in preserving things in these low oxygen enviroments like the Iron Age 'Bog Bodies' that turn up in peat bogs across North West Europe and the British Isles .

[RovingCounter]

How can the tank not be all rusted to hell??

[Modex14]

@RovingCounter Oxidation (Rust) Requires Air and Water, so it was shielded by most of the air by the water.

[ReachDeep1]

@RovingCounter You should see some of the tank rescue vids about pulling tanks from marshes. Those tanks have been sunk in mud since the 40s and come out in excellent condition.

[herning69]

Stupid music

[deweycat01]

Incredible!!! Great job saving history and a tribute to the hard fight the Soviets put up against the Nazis

[ificouliwould]

So... people allways said Russian can't produce quality...

After all these years even the Traks still work! ;o)

[Country1608]

Hey at 0:40 its Colonel Klink!!

[bmp130]

[timmytyphoon]

It came out of the water in remarkably good shape considering how long it had been down there.

[xKILLZONAx]

76.2mm or 152mm?

[Vanyaaynav]

@xKILLZONAx 76,2

[xKILLZONAx]

@Vanyaaynav 152 was KV-2? 107mm was kv-3?

[Vanyaaynav]

@xKILLZONAx It is true

[MartyB086]

4:50, i thought that was a shark for a second

[MrBigtower]

[geoforconsulting]

Very interesting! Who can help me to know type and model of the searching device at 0.04 time?

Many thanks to all

[Rich8951]

Those mechanics must be top notch to get that old machine running again!

[theoutremerlibrary]

Shannonpeg . You are so right , it is the manipulated demonisation of the 'other side' by the war mongering profiteers that keep us at each others throats.

Great work !

[shannonpeg]

Fantastic to see this old warhorse restored , we should never forget the men who fought on both sides in these machines. Respect

[manualmaniac1]

in soviet russia tank finds you!

[xsmattx]

@manualmaniac1

in russia a tank man prays they never meet up with a American Tank

[manualmaniac1]

@xsmattx and why is that?

[GhostofCicero]

@manualmaniac1 I think he is talking about the American tanks shipped to the Soviets as part of the lend lease program. The tankers prayed they got a KV or T34 and not at Sherman!

[Vanyaaynav]

@GhostofCicero I yet did not hear the silliest opinion

[Vanyaaynav]

@xsmattx In Russia was the American tanks

[blizniack]

@xsmattx Americans didnt actually have tanks in world war 2... only parodies of tanks (maybe excluding Pershing)

[jetwagon]

@blizniack yeah right....and three countries used these "parodies" to whip some nazi ass (and japanese) and save the fuckin world you clown.

[LordsOfTheGreenLeaf]

@xsmattx I wanna bet the average Sherman laid in a swamp for 70 years would not in be in such good condition. Also, in combat, the KV1 would have made mince meat out of it's American contemporaries.

[Vanyaaynav]

Отличная работа .Спасибо!

[atlanticl]

what's the name of this song used at the beginning? the guitar....

[CorporalDeath67]

Does anyone know what song was used towards the end of the video?

[Decamephest]

@CorporalDeath67

liube - davai za

[andreykush]

Огромное спасибо Пацаны что рискуя жизнью спасли легендарный Танк!

Спасибо за интересное и трогательное видео. Даже все англоязычные отзывы положительные.

Удачи. Андрей.

[matt53378]

ya ya pull the pin give it a toss dude this granade has been down here  for ever ,youl be fine

[poiuyt3251]

Good to see that old gal running again!

[T51powerarmor]

All the people around the tank got military training xD

[jtdragonrider]

they got alot of American supplies.

[SovereignFreeman]

A very good machine.

[shilltheshillXXX]

American hand grenades from inside the tank...mmmmm...

[slyrader1]

long live freedom long live mother russia

[HistoricDepths]

nice video thanks :)

[wisku88keneda]

KV

[schattensand]

At 6.02 you see the tank is rolling on the tracks. After how many years?

Not one of the "saving tanks out of the bog-mud-water movies" is not a fake.

Not one movable part of any metal machine would roll-work-move after only five years under any of this conditions, not even be restorable without huge effort.

But why not. Nobody harms anyone, Big fun, lots votka and stupid people like me commenting this balagan. So make more of it.

[18F4V]

Very cool. Great job! I hope you find more of the historic vehicles.

[parkerparkerm]

those rounds have been underwater for 70 years, $5 says they will go off if u put em in a micro wave lol

[HendoLawdy]

MINT

[sw8741]

a very cool vid! great production! wish i spoke russian tho, maybe adding some subtitles? nice to see it restored to working order. its amazing there are some who will put the time, money and effort to restore a piece of history!!

[redsoul888]

Tanks don't work like subs.

Would be kinda cool to find a tank in your local lake or river :D
