“- there was a huge oak trunk blocking the tank recovery, that couldn’t be cut, in the end they dug under the trunk so that the river carried the trunk away”

Even in death, stronk soviet wood still protect tenk from outsiders.

Were they serious when they said that KV could be restored? It looked like it was only good for parts to me.

Use the Wikipedia, Luke!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetometer

“Magnetometers can be used as metal detectors: they can detect only magnetic (ferrous) metals, but can detect such metals at a much larger depth than conventional metal detectors; they are capable of detecting large objects, such as cars, at tens of metres, while a metal detector’s range is rarely more than 2 metres.”

Also, KV-1 slipped not from a barge, but from the frozen logs when crossing the river.

They blew up the tank to allow navigation on that part of the river. Its turret and gun were too high above the bottom that it once damaged the hull of a barge going by.

- the tank was from 1942, it drowned in the river apparetnly after it slipped from a barge that was carrying it (SS: if I understand it correctly)
- the tank is ripped to pieces because they used explosives to damage it (SS: so the Germans wouldn’t recover it? Not sure)

Who the fuck makes up these pathetic stories? to me it looks just like North Korea fantasy propaganda lol! hilarious!

Somebody downstream will surely appreciate their effort :D

Does anybody know what a “magnetometer” is? The only magneto I know is from the X-men and I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t help humans to lift a tank out of the water.
