What I find really interesting is the state of preservation.  Yes it's come up in lots of bits, the fact that the wheels still rotate I find astonishing. 

Sunk into a nice, anoxic mud, in fresh water.

Bearings well packed with grease before it went for its swim, so no surprise at the state of preservation. There's a number of uTube clips showing T34s, dragged from similar bogs, wheels rolling nicely & one of the pair of bogeys from a Porsche-suspension Jagdtiger, that've been out in the fresh air for decades, that spin quite happily.
