Tank Hidden In German Villa Basement
Some people have some remarkable collections in their basements. This guy had a WWII Panzer tank among an Anti-Aircraft gun, a torpedo and other weaponry.
According to the Mayor, the 78 year old owner has been seen “chugging around in that thing during the snow catastrophe in 1978”. What concerns me is that all of a sudden the villa owner, described as leading a secluded life, is now being investigated for breaching the war weapons control act. Why the sudden change? I am sure there are talks around town of the crazy old guy with a tank. So they decided to wait almost 30 years before going in an seizing it?
I hope the tank goes to a museum. A shame that this collector will be charged as a criminal when he hasn’t hurt anyone.
It took the police 9 hours to remove the tank from the cellar.
The story was posted on The Telegraph.

and Alex,
if you are ever up this way....lets do a "run and gun' with one of the collection of AFV's we have !
we'd have to use the semi only .30 co-ax though
The 70-year old "Gentleman" that Lived in the Villa, WAS and STILL is a Military Memorabilia Collector. Who Just Happened to Collect It WHILE the War Around Him, WAS "STILL" GOING ON. It "DOES" have a Certain "Uniqueness" About It, Doesn't It...
