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.

Ah, interesting, 8000 sounds a lot more realistic than the 1000000 the other source stated. Do you also have infos if it is true that the Stug is now in Saratov?

I was talking about this particular case.
Still a shameful act.

No mate, you didn't sound so - I wanted to clearify my post, I thought it sounded like I would lump together all battlefield explorers in Russia.
