#1: M4A2 HVSS in Murmansk area? Author: the_shadock, Location: Normandy, FrancePosted: Wed Jan 01, 2014 10:19 pm ----
Trevor Larkum said that "There are 21 tanks identified there in Preserved Tanks in Russia (pages 72-3), including an IS-2M fitted with a KV-2 turret with replica mantlet, and two IS-2M's fitted with replica KV-1 turrets and guns. One of the more interesting vehicles is a Sherman with a hatch in the glacis plate (a la T-34). The implication is that these vehicles have mostly been mocked up, perhaps for a film."
Is this Sherman tank still in Murmansk, or was it moved or scrapped?
I'd like to find a bit more about this one, was it modified to serve as a snowplow or to push wagons for the Soviet railways company, like the one on the black and white picture?
