Are there any original German tanks still in running order?

WWII tanks is meant here, obviously, not post-war.
Anyone know of any and where they are?

Hi, in service, meaning, used by armed forces, I think the last ones were used by Syrian forces in 1967, during the 6 day war, at Golan Heights. After that, Israle captured and displayed one or two at a museum. Syrians had PzKpfW IV and StuG III.
I know French had some Panthers and Bergepanthers.

Yes, In Saumur (France) they have a running & driving Tiger II, they show it driving around once a year. Also they have other WWII tanks in driving condition.
But most running equipment is in privat collections, specially in the UK there are severall and Germany has some collectors.
With kind regards, Benno

Here at Finland, at Parola Tank museum, there are at least one Stug III, T-34/85(truly a wartime one, not post-war prod.) and Landswerk Anti AA-tank. Also some variants of Russian T-26/Vickers.
I was lucky to get a ride in the Stug and T-34, while doing my "work-practise" for school almost ten years ago. Wish I had those adrenalin-flows again someday...
