Russian tank recovery

[Snowtractor]

The site says after some small engine repairs it fired up. With the T34 being a diesel (very oily, I expect much heavier than today's variety too) I could see it running, but I would not expect the bearings to last very long before they turned on the crank. Also I would expect the fuel pump and injection system, being tight tolerances, needed to be replaced.
All that speculation aside, the swamp looks like it was anerobic, so very little oxygen to promote iron oxides. Very nice score. I would leave the German marking too, much more of a story.
