discussion Tank in basement

[Mark1]

84 year old man in Germany had his house raided after a tip off,and they found this in his basement along with an anti aircraft gun and an arsenal of weapons!
Apparently he was seen using the tank as a snow plough one winter!
Due to german gun laws he can't keep anything,he has two years to sell or donate everything and has been fined €250000 .

It was the fact that the AA gun they found was an 88 on the bogies that got me..... Just how big was that basement.....

I thought this looked familiar … it’s a story from 2015, but it looks like it’s only now coming to trial.

He must have sold the stolen art to build it!

I remember when they first found it how it was apparently not uncommon for him to drive around town in it a decade or two before..... Bonkers....
