The Cellar - View Single Post - January 25, 2007: Old tank found, pulled out of the muck

One of the mailing lists I'm on explained it somewhere

It seems up there on the northern front, during WWII, the Germans captured a Russian tank. They painted their markings on it, and put it to use. The next battlem the tank ended up breaking through the ice, and sinking in the swamp. Last year, they recovered the tank, which was preserved (as Esplode guessed) by a lack of oxygen

So you have a bit of an odd one - a RUSSIAN tank, with German markings, being pulled out of a bog
