WWII Russian Tank Recovered From Lake

Check out this story we got from our good friend Lloyd. Some folks in Estonia located a WWII vintage T34 tank submerged in a lake and buried in mud. They pulled it out with a Komatsu skidder, and when you see it, I am sure you maintenance guys are going to appreciate it BIG TIME!

Watch the video, and see the tracks still turn after 53 years under water! The story says they were able to get the old diesel running too. Unbelievable...

The other unique feature is the tank was apparently captured by the Germans, and was repainted with Nazi insignia. The theory is that they ran it into the lake intentionally when retreating from the Russian Front in 1944.
