I found this to be quite interesting, so I thought I would share it.

Great find!!!!

That's actually a Russian T-34. I was captured by the Germans during a battle. That's why it had German insignia on it. Apparently it fell through the ice during a retreat and was left there by the Germans.

This story is a few years old. From what I heard, the tank was so well preserved that the ammo was still dangerous and that the tank was able to be push started only a few days after recovery.

Was it restored on an episode on Tank Overhaul?
