    Russian WWII tank found in the mud, pulled out after 62 years.

    WWII Russian tank with German markings uncovered after 62 years. WWII Buffs will find this interesting - Even after 62 years (and a little tinkering), they were able to fire up the Diesel engine! A Komatsu D375A-2 bulldozer pulled the abandoned tank from its tomb under the boggy bank of a lake near Johvi, Estonia . The Soviet-built T34/76A


    This is pretty cool.

                        That's really cool! No rust + they had it running shortly after pulling it out of the water?
