Panzer IV

[25 pounder]

There seems to be a German Panzer IV in a Belgian creek ,

There are plans to bring it up the dry ground , but funds are unsufficient,

Local population is sure it has been dumped by Germans on the retreat , when it ran dry on fuel , and to prevent from falling in ennemy hands it has been pushed into the water ,

there seems to be more stuff in the creek , a wartime truck , and lots of ammo

Interesting.

It may be in relatively good condition.

Any more info?

This could be a very interesting find - if it's true!!

 

Let's hope it's not another 'Tiger in the bog' story - whatever happened to that?!

[shane.c]

Sounds good lets hope there is,

It's 99 % sure it's there , but it seems to be at a dangerous location in the water , locals used to call it "the bottomless pit" , several people died in it by drowning , strong turbulence , and perhaps the major problem , the funds are missing to pay fopr the whole operation.

 

Another problem might be the ownership of the tank , to whom it belongs once it's on the dry , we've heard the village " claims the wreckage" as a statue on the market place , so if someone can bring it above the surface , that doesn't mean you'll own it , so it's one big mistery , but at least we're sure it 's still there , as there are a lot of other "things"

so it's one big mistery , but at least we're sure it 's still there , as there are a lot of other "things"

 

So where is "there", or are you just fuelling the mystery?

No , I'm not hanging on to any mistery , it's in a pool , near the Dutch border ,but on Belgian ground , the village is named "ASSENEDE" , check it out on google , you find out more about it

reference words , Assenede , bodemloze put , tank, panzer IV
