Highland_laddie Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 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. The material something metal is deposited in makes such a difference to the rate of corrosion.....

Niels v Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 They did also find a jagdpanther roof. So they will be digging again. Mateuczs has quite a lot of parts for PZ3 so possibly if they find a bit more he can restore a third stug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
