Dowly, Stug!

Apparently the Germans repainted some of their Equipment and that included renumbering as well.
So the renumbering on that found StuG may be authentic.
All the internal equipment and some parts were stolen.
Kubinka tank museum planned to buy it, but the local administration wanted 8000 USD for the StuG and Kubinka didn't have that kind of money.
I wasn't implying ofc that there are not honorable people in Russia, or for that matter anywhere else in the world that do this kind of retrieval work.
I was talking about this particular case.
Still a shameful act. They know who they are, and probably have done this many a time, found bodies and done the same. Hardened crims really.
