boy finds tank tracks going into a lake and not coming out of it.. notices airbubles in the lake for a couple of months then tells local war history club about it.

 

what they found was a workin Soviet-built T34/76A trophy tank captured by german forces then dumped in the lake.

how is it still working?

 

wouldnt it be rusted to hell?

 

It was under 3 metres of peat in what looks to be a fairly still probably nutrient and oxygen stratified lake . Rusting has probably not occured to a great degree because of anoxic conditions within the lake bed.

 

bacteria in peat uses up oxygen in their metabolism so metal components undergo slower oxidisation (rusting) due to relatively low oxygen concentrations.

 

That would be my educated guess.

yeah according to the acticle it wasnt rusted at all and everything was fully working except for the engine. would be crazy if it worked right away and they hopped in and drove it somewhere lol.

as you would expect of the russians, not only do there AKs last for ever, so do their tanks.

 

oh and pogo

 

As far it has been known, after a small repair and service they were able to start it’s diesel engine.

it's like when I was on a bus tour around Loch Ness some time ago.

During the war when they were testing the dambusters

(Lancasters dropping them ?) one of the aircraft went

down in the Loch. 30 or 40 years later they brought it

up and all the electricals and systems were working

perfectly - because the

water was so pure... no decay...

I love to read stories like these it makes you think what else is out their my mate 5 years ago found 2 rifles from back when Ned Kelly was still around in his own dam as well as heaps of other junk. They were still in good condition apart from rust on some of the finer pieces.
