That's cool! A captured Russian T-34 with Nazi markings on it.

Why the sarcasm/disbelief? They misidentified it as a T-34/76A (I don't believe the Soviets ever used A, B, C's when classifying production models).

But it's a perfect example of a T-34/76 model 1943 late production w/commander's cupola and a soft-edged hex turret too.

Very cool that it was found in near-pristine condition, and that the recovery crew was able to start the diesel engine after 60 years being stuck in the bottom of a lake :shock:

That is a very awesome find. I wonder what other treasures must be there.

The Russains made things to operate in primative conditions, as we have seen!
