Thanks for the updates guys. I see they're having trouble with removing water from the hole. Also I saw in one of the photos a part of a backbone. Were there remains of the crewmen found?

This piece of pure beauty looks to be in really good shape. Probably the deep mud it was burried within helped preserve the hull.

Yep, I'm looking forward to seeing it in Poznan some day.

Guys, the recovery team is now disassembling the StuG, down to the last single screw. What they need are any interior pictures of StuG or Panzer IV as well as any electric and internal communication system's schematics.

ANY help will be very appreciated.
