Paulus, I think in the spring of this tank still will be restored. I think it Recover in May, for Victory Day, May 9.
Now this tank was taken to the Volgograd Tractor Factory.
But you can see the tank T-70 that found two years ago.

Historians have supposes that the tank was destroyed during attack von Manstein in December 1942.

This will be a great story once completed. You can't get much more documented than finding the crew still with the tank.
A great piece of history and those men can now get a proper burial.

Mercy! That tank took one hard hit! Hopefully the crew will be laid to rest soon and the work on the tank restoration can begin.
