As it was laying in the middle of a beachpool and it was freezing cold... I couldn't approach
Don't know what it is, but possibly something 'historical'... something which is laying there since many years (because modern day wreckage or washed up debris are always removed)... so it could date back to the war. Perhaps someone invested it up close???

it could also have been a racing truck due to the (what seems to be a) spoiler just in front of the cilindrical object hahaha

Russians thought similar. Caption on picture = shelter made from boiler.

But other Russians were correct. Note similar construction for door safety cover/guard and additional wood lid (3 layers of trunks) above shelter.
The some source as above.

Unfortunately, rather poor quality (I didn't bring the scanner that day, only the camera). I will make a new copy with the scanner on my next trip.
