I wonder if it still works?

As far as it has been known, after a small repair and service
they were able to start its diesel engine.

that's cool

Sweet. Greatest tank ever built

There's a surprising amount of restored ww2 tanks knocking about, various Panthers + variants, Tigers and a King Tiger

I don't think that VRT applies on these and you'd never get stuck in a jam again - up you Greens!

Actually I think thats a Panzer II

It is a Soviet T-34, with German markings.
The clip is seven years old and in the wrong forum. Moved.

That's like seeing a picture of Stalin and saying 'I think that's actually Hitler'.

For shame Maximilian!

"Remarkably, the tank was in good condition, with no rust, and all systems (except the engine) in working condition."

"Have successfully started the diesel engine not replacing any spare part.
Have replaced only bearings on skating rolls."
