“Police raided the home in the town of Heikendorf under instructions from prosecutors, who suspected that the villa’s 78-year-old owner held the weaponry illegally under a law controlling the possession of instruments of war. “

LOL

Like the owner could do any damage with it being it took 9hrs to get it out of the basement by a platoon of men with heavy equipment.

Excellent shape the equipment is in. No tracks on the tank.

I hope they don’t scrap any of it.

I guess they don’t have a 2nd Amendment over there in Germany.

A Panther is perfect for home self-defense.

The military was extremely careful not to damage the home. In the Us the home would have been destroyed by other tanks retrieving one of their own.

Yes it does.

Was just reading how efficient and proficient the German crews were that manned them.

Picking off allied tanks with them one after another in North Africa.

It’s the one Oddball left behind after he got his cut of the gold shipped off to the USA.

He’s probably just one of those holdouts who thinks WWII is still going.

Oh, cool! A 1943 Panther, arguably the best tank of WWII. It looks like he had a very nice 88mm, too.
