A German Stug found in the mud. The freakin tracks still turn!

That's incredible, thanks kdf

I noticed the tracks were snow tracks. It's possible that it broke through
the ice.

You notice they pulled it out upside-down, as I'm thinkin it got rolled by a bomb.Hope no-one is still in there.......

Well the way that it rolled on it's tracks is an indication that it was in
neutral maybe and to me that is a good sign.

But what a find that Stug is in fantastic condition. Even the fenders were
intact.

Amazing

I have owned BMWs for many years, and I tell you: I can understand that this STUG has lasted so long

German quality is not a klichee, is really a true thing!

(Though later in the war when skilled workers were pushed as soldiers to the front and massive bombardment of german industry happened, quality went down quick)

Amazing video, hope they will restore it! Any idea where the STUG was found? Looks like Ucraine to me

Looked like an AP strike at 6:49?
Maybe that was what knocked the tank out?
As for it being upside down,maybe it was bombed later,mistaken for being operational.
Very interesting though,I love this sort of thing.
