Wish I could see one of those in real life, let alone own one. lol, that'd be a good project to restore it, looks in ok condition. The turret top looks open, so it might be ruined inside.

Wish I could find something like that. But a great find none the least, especially in German markings.

How cool would that be. I bet some kids were out fishing or swimming or something and ran across the beast. It looks like if you hosed it off and ran some eather through the tanks, you could fire it right up. Amazing. Must have been very low O2 content in that water.

It still has the patriotic slogans painted on the port side of the turret put there by the original owners. I would really like to know what it says. If it is as reliable as legends say, then a couple of good whacks with a hammer should be enough to start it up and drive out of there. What a great find!

I'd love to know the story of how that old warhorse got lost in the mud for 60 years. It's story is most likely lost to history.

I found this while out surfing. Released from it's boggy tomb in Estonia, a T-34/76 in German markings;

Complete with ammunition!
Here is the link for some more photos;

Word has it that the engine has already been fired up and this machine is well on it's way to a complete restoration. Party [party]
