Digging tanks – a video compilation of lifting armored vehicles from the Second World War (digging digest, issue 3)

I love watching military equipment being pulled out from under the water. Or from the swamps. Or they dig it out of the ground. It doesn’t matter where it comes from, but it’s always an unforgettable sight — the cables are held by an unknown monster, tractors and tractors are pulling heavy loads and suddenly, first the trunk, then the tower, then the hull itself peeks out from under the water. The rise of a tank from the Great Patriotic War will not leave anyone indifferent.

I put together a small selection of how different tanks were built, and some were even able to start after many years of idleness. Let’s see:

We picked up the German self-propelled gun Stug III. Who knows what modification — write, I will add. The condition is as if it was buried yesterday, even the crosses on the armor are like new.

Lifting of the captured T-34-76. As you can see from the video — Even the crosses on the armor were preserved, everything is exactly as in the video above. Raised in Estonia.

Lifting of the T-34-76 tank in the Cherkasy region in Ukraine. How calmly and naturally the guys work, as if they were lifting tanks every day.

Lifting the KV-1 tank on the Nevsky patch. The guys from the St. Petersburg scuba diving club discovered the tank at the bottom of the river and the tank was subsequently raised. Another plus is to take a scuba diving course — There are still so many finds and undiscovered places underwater!

Watch and read my blog, more videos coming soon. In the meantime — you will find the entire digging digest here (even more videos!).
