I note that there is no ZImmerit. Edited August 11, 2016 by Watcher 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete610 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Interesting....pity it seems to have been reduced to a chassis level. Always a bit suspicious of these articles - i.e.the AK47 in another photo of site, wasn't designed until late '46 - entering Red Army service 3 years later. Suspect the IV has been used locally as a farm tractor and dumped in the river quite a few years after the war.. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read page one it gives the full story and explains that it was recovered in 2 sections due to problems lifting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
