Don't hold me responsible for this one. I know the door would have to be pretty well airtight in order for it to work. But it might work on some cars. Get back to me on it.

WWII Tank found after 62 ! Years



WWII Russian tank with German markings uncovered after 62 years. WWII Buffs will find this interesting. 
Even after 62 years (and a little tinkering), they were able to fire up the diesel engine! 

A Komatsu D375A-2 bulldozer pulled the abandoned tank from its tomb under the boggy bank of a lake near Johvi , Estonia . The Soviet-built T34/76A tank had been resting at the bottom of the lake for 56 years. According to its specifications, it's a 27-ton machine with a top speed of 53km/hr. 

From February to September 1944, heavy battles were fought in the narrow, 50 km-wide, Narva front in the northeastern part of Estonia . Over 100,000 men were killed and 300,000 men were wounded there. During battles in the summer of 1944, the tank was captured from the Soviet army and used by the German army. (This is the reason that there are German markings painted on the tank's exterior.) On 19th September, 1944, German troops began an organized retreat along the Narva front. It is suspected that the tank was then purposefully driven into the lake to conceal it when its captors left the area. 

At that time, a local boy walking by the lake, Kurtna Matasjarv, noticed tank tracks leading into the lake but not coming out anywhere. For two month s he saw air bubbles emerging from the lake. This gave him reason to believe that there must be an armored vehicle at the lake's bottom. A few years ago, he told the story to the leader of the local war history club 'Otsing'. Together with other club members, Mr. Igor Shedunov initiated diving expeditions to the bottom of the lake about a year ago. At the depth of 7 metres they discovered the tank resting under a 3 metre layer of peat. 

Enthusiasts from the club, under Mr Shedunov's leadership, decided to pull the tank out. In September of 2000 they turned to Mr. Aleksander Borovkovthe, manager of the Narva open pit company AS Eesti Polevkivi, to rent the company's Komatsu D375A-2 bulldozer. (Currently used at the pit, the Komatsu dozer was manufactured in 1995, and has recorded 19,000 operating hours without major repairs.) 

The pulling operation began at 09:00 and was concluded at 15:00, with several technical breaks. The weight of the tank, combined with the travel incline, made for a pulling operation that required significant muscle. The D375A-2 handled the operation with power! and style. The weight of the fully-armed tank was around 30 tons, so the active force required to retrieve it was similar. A main requirement for the 68-ton dozer was to have enough weight to prevent slippage while moving up the hill. 

After the tank surfaced, it turned out to be a 'trophy tank' that had been captured by the German army in the course of the battle at Sinimaed (Blue Hills) about six weeks before it was sunk in the lake. Altogether, 116 shells were found on board. Remarkably, the tank was in good condition, with NO RUST, and all systems (except the engine) in working condition. This is a very rare machine, especially considering that it fought both on the Russian and the German sides. Plans are underway to fully restore the tank. It will be displayed at a war history museum in the Gorodenko village on the left bank of the River Narv.

Here it comes...

In mint condition. 




Hosing off 62 years worth of 'muck.' 



Incredibly, after a few minor repairs, they were able to start its diesel engine. 





Pretty amazing... 

 

Niccolò Ghedini
Niccolò GhediniNato a Padova il 22 dicembre 1959. Avvocato penalista, sostiene nel processo la difesa di Silvio Berlusconi. Eletto alla Camera dei Deputati con il sistema maggioritario nella circoscrizione VII (VENETO 1), iscritto al gruppo parlamentare di Forza Italia, è componente della Giunta per le autorizzazioni a procedere in giudizio dal 13 giugno 2001, del Comitato parlamentare per i procedimenti d'accusa dal 19 giugno 2001, della II Commissione permanente Giustizia dal 21 giugno 2001.

Lucidissimo nell'analisi delle carte del procedimento, spietato nell'evidenziare incongruenze negli elementi probatori raccolti dalla pubblica accusa, professionista di sicuro talento nonostante l'età ancora giovane, Ghedini è protagonista nell'aula del tribunale di Milano e al tempo stesso legato al suo assistito da un rapporto che da professionale diventa politico, con il suo ingresso nelle fila di Forza Italia.

In aula e di fronte ai media alterna quindi fasi in cui puntella la difesa con aticolate argomentazioni di tipo tecnico, non disdegnando strumenti duri della tattica forense, a fasi in cui si esprime da parlamentare, accentuando la connotazione politica del procedimento.
