I saw an interesting photo series of a gigantic German halftrack that was dragged out of a Polish river.

To me, SS-Haupsturmfuhrer Michael Wittmann's PzKpfw VI Tiger I is the most intriguing find. But if that halftrack photo series is online, please point me to it!

Here is a funny contemporary video from France:

The French have some working German tanks left since they used them after WWII for their millitary. I recommend the half-track for a cruise on 5th Avenue in N.Y. You can be assured that you are the issue of the day then.

Most of the abandoned tanks were cut up for scrap after the war, but Wittmann's tank was hit by a bomb or rocket, so there wasn't much left anyway. I don't have the link to the halftrack series, sorry. There's also one of a T-34 with german markings being pulled from a lake in Latvia, (I think), and another one of an FW-190 being lifted from a Norwegian fjord.
