I know, every time we get ready to plant the garden we always run across something like this...

That thing looks like it is in great shape. They can't have made too many of those things so some museum/collector is going to be very happy to have it.

Great pic ! That Jagdpanzer IV looks to be in good shape, the Sturmgeschutz looks like it might need some work.

Now that BMW with the side car looks mint and its got the Hasbro fat tires just like the Indy Jones BMW.

Panzer M are there any more pics of this dig? I would think this may be E. Europe or Russia. Very Cool stuff.....OH and it belongs in a museum

seems there were only 930 produced.

this is the big Panzer Salvage/sale in Bulgaria

BTW, that's not a BMW R75, but a Ural which is a clone of the R71 Bike IIRC.

I can't say if the Jgpz IV is a L70 or L48(bad angle)..but the few(1) L70 reported(confirmed)to be sent as a present to the royality of Bulgaria by Hitler himself, so it could be the Lang but rumor exist this was already found and smuggled out of the country to a private collection in western europe.....I know the Bulgarians were given StuGs(not sure on StuHs), Pz IVs(H/Js), Jgpz IVs, and artillery and small arms(panzerfaust)

On the other hand the Hungarians got Tiger Is...so maybe the Bulgarians got heavier equipment from the Germans to fight the Russians.
