Nowhere in the article does it mention it was covered in mud. It specifically says:
After several years of being withdrawn from active service, 3 copies of tanks PzKpfw III was converted from fixed shelters at the airport in Bardufoss. Were poured over them tens of tons of concrete. They remained forgotten, when they were discovered under a thick layer of concrete. This tank was transferred from Norway to Poland in September 2013. This year, the restoration process has started.
It is also rusted much more than other unearthed WW2 era tanks https://pic8.co/sh/7bF8zR.png
I love how you are being snarky over this too. Goes to show how defensive you are over this subject, acting like an obscure website that took you half an hour to find is "absolute minimum amount of research"
Apologies, you're correct it is covered in concrete, but the point still stands. If you want this image to prove that there's a secret conspiracy to hide 'the true nature of lretification' go ahead.
All to had to do was Google 'panzer 4 excavated' and in about 2 minutes found the above website.
That's the entire point of this sub lol nothing but a bit of harmless fun
When stuff like this, stuff that is easily disproven with basic research, reaches the front page of the website I think it does no one any favors. Places like this already have a reputation in the mainstream as being 'full of crazy conspiracy theories, flat earthers, etc.'
If someone happens to find this website and they see a post like this right next to a white replacement post, they can easily dismiss the latter as just as credible as the former.
which is interesting as it is a Pz III.
I misidentified the turret, thinking it was an early model pzIV, but one of the images showed the tank and I was able to go from there.
It was covered in concrete which will cause steel to corrode faster because of the nature of galvanism.
And because concrete contains water in it too I guess. Thanks for not just saying "its mud REE"
Yeah it will trap water between the concrete and steel in some places and seal other places which then reduces the surface area of the anode which will then cause corrosion to happen faster in the exposed areas. There is also a bacterium effect in those thin layers between the steel and concrete where bacteria changes the properties of the electrolyte and give more paths for eddie currents.
