PzKpfw IV ausf. G or J has just been digged out. Its disintegrated into parts but believed to be 90% complete. Same people as in case of StuG are involved so I believe we will see it at least cleaned soon.

Another one to be left out rotting away and no doubt be robbed of anything removable
Re: Ooops... they did it again... Panzer IV unearthed in Poland
Im kind of glad they found it but i wish they would sell them to collectors who will do something with them or as simon says they will be stripped

Mixed feelings. Interesting find, but without preservation and care, it will rot away and be gone forever. What good the find when left to that sort of fate?
Re: Ooops... they did it again... Panzer IV unearthed in Poland
No worries they're going to clean it and restore it, at least to some degree... Nobody's leaving it to rot away for sure...

I honestly hope they do, in recent years theirs been to many Panzers etc dug up only to be left languishing in some scrap yard open to the elements and robbed blind.mario33 wrote:No worries they're going to clean it and restore it, at least to some degree...

These kinds of 'finds' are amazing.
What ever happened to that Stug with the wide tracks -the one that was found upside down in a bog? Even it's paint job had been remarkably preserved. What ever became of it?

Not good , all its gear sold the tank itself was a time capsule lost to profit.

I keep hoping to open the doors of some musty barn and find an intact kettenkrad that the farmer would rather be rid of. I would lavish love on it like it was my own child... I would settle for a period Lantz bulldog in a pinch.
