At the beginning of 1945, when Soviet troops were moving to the west, under that tank broke the ice. The vehicle came down the river near city Warta (district Sieradz, Poland).

It is a Sherman, but we know no survivor of this particular variant. We know some surviving M4A3(76) VVSS and HVSS, some M4A2(76) HVSS, but not any M4A2(76) VVSS. Some of us would need a full study of that kind of tank in original WW2 configuration.

If you have contact with, Jacek Kopczyński, i can help with documentation about Valentine IX.
Seriously, everyone thought that the times of amazing finds are behind us and now such a sleeping beauty appears.
