    Default Half of a Russian Sherman

    At the "Muzeul Militar National", Bucharest.

    This one was recovered in 2000, from the Prut river, Moldova county, Romania.

    No one cut it, Rick, that's how it was found in the river.
    Best wishes, Adi

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

    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.
    Best wishes, Adi

    Regards Rick
