Good on you for recommending the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum, their KZread channel is excellent and they are currently restoring a Jagpanther, Stug 111 and a Goliath. They do weekly in-depth updates

Thrun scrapyard in Normandy contained lots of Panzers that has been repaired back to former glory , and a former owner of the yard Herr Hoebig has repaired at least 3 Tiger 1 and has sold one to a (unknown) collector in america- it stood in the Munster museum before that maybe thats why the scale 1/1 plastic tiger was invented .

When I was a young boy these tanks were still to be found where they were destroyed or abandoned. I used to play in and on them.

My dad's fort after the war as a kid in Essen was a disabled tank that provided protection from the bully gangs. That definitely put my tree house to shame for reliable protection. 😉

This channel deserves way more recognition for what it does.

I temper seeing a picture years ago of a Flakpanzer 38(t) in scrapyard in France included in an article about surviving AFV's. It was rusty and overgrown, but in pretty good shape considering it's age. I remember thinking how rare it was and thatsomebody should collect it. I wonder if this is the same AFV you mention here.

I have the utmost respect for the ones who save the history in living physical actions!.The Littlefield Collection is another vast collection of not only WW2 armor but even modern and post war examples...Keep up the great work gentlemen!!

In my country, the state autorities scraped all the german military vehicles in 1954 or 57. What remains on battle fields, were melted for metals by the local people, in the years after the war. Sad but real.

Depends on the soil, if sandy and dry possible in 1997 a friend of mine in Austria planted a cherry tree and cane over an Mp 40 and ammo cases buried there since 1945 in very dry and sandy soil. The Mp looked well and worked well after cleaning. Most of the ammo was dead due to vanished lacquer seals.

I heard of an M4 Sherman that was in a scrap yard here in the states. It survived and was restored. The main reason it survived was they TRIED to cut it up but after making a 6" cut in the turret and using an entire tank of gas they gave up and shoved it off to the side where it sat for a decade or so. Oh, and that Tiger 2 in France? The one that's buried? It's not a complete Tiger at all. There are a couple of videos on YT about it

Yes the tiger 2 buried under a road in France - they have recovered the turret almost in one piece - dont think the french will allov the road be diged out - somebody should offer them a huge sum of money and even that could easyly be shot down in flames , the times has passed for doing extra ordinere things involving the rescued of a nazi - vehicle - the New generations dont care and dont know a lot of their history and thereby is in danger of repeting the same faults as them done before sad enough.

The French Army operated captured Panthers up to 1950. By then their own tank industry was re-established so the Panthers weren't needed anymore. They had no need for the Tigers at all except for testing and evaluation. The other Allied nations such as the US, the UK, and the USSR found nothing or at least very little in the German tank designs they cared to copy or use. That tells you something, especially in the case of the Russians who weren't shy about copying anything they found useful.

Thanks for this 👍🇳🇿

Nobody back then had the collecting mentality we have today, so something old went to the scrapper, and metal was also worth money.

Thing is, after 6 years of war, many under occupation, millions killed or wounded, homes and towns reduced to rubble, lives destroyed, to name but a few of the results of Germany's ambitions, there was no great sentimentality for these weapons of war, the machines of destruction that tore their lives apart as there is nearly 80 years later by those who never experienced war or the worst aspects and after effects.

What’s fucked about the metal detector videos is when they find a gun but don’t think to recover the body that’s probably lying there. They might have living family members who never knew what happened to them and here these mental midgets are getting their MP40 to hang on their wall which was Han’s last hope of being buried in his home town.
