There used to be an old British Cromwell off Donna Nook in Lincolnshire on the sand ... that too was used for RAF bombing practice.

This is a children´s tale. Really the 20 Pz IV and 8 Stug III was part of the "Bear Program" of military assistance from Germany to the Spanish Army.

Recently the tank was totally restored and moving.

Spanish Panzer IV - All Empires

Well, then the "children´s tale" was written in the sign that was placed in front of the tank when I filmed it. The authors of the "children´s tale" were the military personnel that placed the tank there in the first place.

It would have been difficult to put on the sign "generosly offered by our good friend Adolf Hitler"...

Stuka,

You have a point there, but bear in mind that Franco´s regime never pretended to hide their friendship with Nazi Germany in the post-war years (They did during the last part of WWII for fear of being invades). As an example, the "Blue Division" soldiers who fought with german uniforms in the eastern front were publicly honoured by the regime year after year. There is even a street named after them (which still exists).

You are wright.
I mean to recall that the generalisimo of the Blue Division got honored by the American's in the '60 ties for his participation in the fight against communisme during WWII .
