I first saw this story through a link from that Kidofspeed girl riding her motorcycle through the Chernobyl dead area. She has a whole section on collecting military battlefield souvenirs. This is the story and pictures page http://www.strategypage.com/military...115163335.aspx

Another thing that tank had going for it is it was almost brand new.
They lost it to the Nazis in it's first battle. Then it was repainted to use against the Russians but in another three weeks the Nazis had to retreat so they dumped it in the lake with 116 of it's original Russian shells on board. It helps the restoration if it isn't all beat to hell to start with.

Here's another tank-in-the-mud story, though the pictures are a little more indistinct. And technically, it's not a tank, it's an "assault gun"(Sturmgeschutz IIIG), but, well...
Guess those wide tracks didn't lower the ground pressure quite enough... |
