Half of a Russian Sherman

[Nifartachi]

At the "Muzeul Militar National", Bucharest.

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

Great pictures shame they cut it in half though.

[Nifartachi]

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

[Rick]

Sorry my mistake Adi, must have come apart at the seams....literally.

[NickD]

that's pretty cool in a sad kinda way

[Nifartachi]

Sorry my mistake Adi, must have come apart at the seams....literally.

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

[Nifartachi]

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.

[Rick]

Hi Adi, thanks for letting me know, looked a bit strange, i suppose the took the engine before pushing it in to the river, shame but at least some good came of it.

Regards Rick
