- Construction workers uncovered a well-preserved WWII Sturmgeschütz III at the Nordholz airbase in northern Germany.
- Experts lifted the 29-ton vehicle with a crane and plan to transport it to the German Tank Museum in Munster this August.
- The vehicle belonged to the Fallschirm-Sturmgeschütz-Brigade 12, active in 1944 Normandy battles, showing 17 kill markings on its barrel.
- The site also yielded ammunition remnants, and the dry sand burial preserved the vehicle’s structure and paint remarkably well.
For every destroyed tank, they have apparently placed such a marking here.— Andreas Hüser, head of the Archaeological Monument Preservation in the Cuxhaven district
