    Default A German T34 Tank!!

    It is the Russian T-34 tank captured by the Germans and used in the German army. Sank during the battle for the city of Narva (1944), in Lake Jõhvi.

    T-34 in the swamps of the Baltic states often exhibit ... I myself took part in the search and the rise of military equipment. Here are a couple of my trophies - now undergoing restoration at the Moscow Museum of military equipment.

    -Russian Heavy IS-2 with armor-piercing gun, badly damaged in battle, see the bullet holes and shrapnel ..


    - handsome, front view...


    - Russian Tank Destroyer SU-122

    I guess you ask yourself how you can find tanks in the lake ...?

    Here are some of my photos in 2007 .. EU, Latvia, "Courland pocket" (see wikipedia). Small Latvian forest lake ...

    -According to the memoirs of German tank driver, is "somewhere" ...


    -In winter, on ice, carried a magnetometer to detect large metal objects. Anomaly found here ..


    - Inflate the boat, and get down underwater camera ... On-board magnetometer, video camera, sonar sensor (my own design and assembly. Create an underwater robot for 2 years ...)..


    - All tank found .. can cause heavy equipment and divers ..
