It sure looks very odd, Rick, but that's how they found it... Who knows how it came to look like this.

Re: Half of a Russian Sherman Well, Rick, I was the one who made a mistake... SORRY!
The Moldavian peasants took the tank out of the Siret river; they did the cutting. Why? They needed the engine for a water pump.
I thought it looked like that because... never mind.
