This tank was found in Norway and is currently covered in mud. It was later fully excavated and donated to Norway.

Edit: concrete, not mud.

LOL Good luck with that. Ask him about the moon landings.
I was going to suggest it was covered with concrete as a "destroy before leaving" measure. But it's probably just packed with mud.
Looks like, according to the article, they were covered with concrete.
You're correct, I was wrong in my summary of the article. Though I think the point stands, concrete or mud, that this isn't a fossilized tank.
No, it was just buried.
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After several years of being withdrawn from active service, 3 copies of tanks PzKpfw III was converted from fixed shelters at the airport in Bardufoss.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
which is interesting as it is a Pz III.
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"
It was not uncommon to cement tanks into the ground to use them as stationary guns. Notice how the turret was not covered. Simple History has a video on this: "Why were tanks cemented into the ground?"
Yeah. I don't remember if it said in the article I linked or another one but somewhere I read that the tank specifically was 'buried as a bunker'.
