T34 Tank facts
While investigating facts about T34 Tank, I found out little known, but curios details like:
During WWII the Germans captured a Russian T34 Tank then sank it in a lake in Estonia where it was rediscovered and after cleaning it up the engine was able to run.
Planning permission in London was refused for a building. The requester asked to put a tank there instead. Permission was granted for a "septic tank". Man puts a T34 tank there, points the gun at the council offices, and leaves it there for 21 years.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 5 of the best facts about T34 Tank I managed to collect.
