Neat recovery. I hope they restore it back to full soviet factory condition.

I hope they leave it as is.  Finding a captured T-34 still in German Markings is amazing.  It is living history, and if anything, should be restored as it is.

Hell, there are thousands of T-34's in Russia.  Last time we checked into it, I could have one delivered to Colorado in running condition, for 60k.  I have never heard of a captured one in that type of condition.  It is simply amazing.

I agree. The "captured" markings make it much more unique. Amazing how little external corrosion there is.

Oh, and that's definitely a T-34/76, not an 85.

That is a German T-34. As the war grew more and more desperate the Germans became very skilled in finding room for more shells in their tanks. The Russians however were regulated by strict doctrines.
