T34 Tank rescued from the marshland

This Russian built T34 tank was captured by the Germans and marked as their own. This one was either stuck during battle or ditched during retreat in order for it not to fall back into the Russian enemies hands.
Due to the low oxygen levels in the marshy bog corrosion was slowed considerably.

Well done comrades....

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!

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.

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

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

@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.
