“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.

I guess they don’t have a 2nd Amendment over there in Germany.
A Panther is perfect for home self-defense.

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

The mayor of Heikendorf, Alexander Orth, who was present at the tank's remove, said the discovery came as no surprise, telling the newspaper that the owner "was chugging around in that thing during the snow catastrophe in 1978". The bureaucracy can be sluggish, but it never sleeps.

But Peter Gramsch, lawyer for the villas owner, claimed that the tank and the anti-aircraft gun could no longer fire their weapons and were therefore not breaking any law. He told the newspaper there was even a note from the responsible district office from 2005 stating that the tank had lost its weapons capability.
Mr Gramsch now wants to take legal action against the seizure and also for compensation for his client.
I assume that the tank was damaged in the process, he said.
So, Eric Holder is doing consulting work for Germany now?

At least in the United States you can still legally own 200 tanks.

He used to allow the public to tour his museum once a month before he fixed. Sadly, his collection was auctioned off last year and I never took the secretive tour.

They arrested a guy in Berlin a couple of years ago for trying to sell a restored 40mm Bofors AA gun (with ammo) and a few MG42s (with ammo).
He had apparently dug them out of a former Wehrmacht arms depot with the ammo.
Most German arms depots in the field were simply bulldozed over with earth by the Allies: anything packed in cosmoline is probably still in good condition.

Ob's stürmt oder schneit,
Ob die Sonne uns lacht
Der Tag glühend heiß
Oder eiskalt die Nacht
Bestaubt sind die Gesichter
Doch froh ist unser Sinn
Ist unser Sinn
Es braust unser Panzer
Im Sturmwind dahin

Mr Orth said the man has a "a certain fondness for particular things", adding: "Some people like steam trains, others like tanks. The price of the toys, is all that separates the men from the boys!

Stephen Morris, the drummer for Joy Division and New Order, owns a few tracked military vehicles, but I don’t think any are actual tanks. He’s in England, wonder how many bureaucratic hoops he had to jump through.

Here in Indy, we used to have the Ropkey Armor Museum. Although he had more than just armor when it was located off 79th St. On the west side just past I-465.
It’s now located in Crawforsville, IN.
