....man just look at that rig, nice, nice, nice. A couple of years ago there was a flamethrower version of the T34 pulled out of another lake/swamp in Russia. It was in pretty good shape too. The shape of the markings on this one is amazing.

I took a look at that URL and the other pictures. There it was written that this T 34 was used by the Finns fighting the Germans.

But the tank has German nationality markings and was obviously used by the Germans. The Finns at that time had blue swasticas painted on their tanks. The Finnish swastica was pointing right, the German left.
