You can find some useful stuff among Pierre-Olivier's albums:

I plan to visit Sinsheim in the near future, it's already pretty well covered in the albums above, but I'll ensure to double-check everything.

Trevor's data could be outdated/incomplete, but they are good starting point:

Here's the info I have from Lesley Delsing, plus some additions I made a few years ago (and a few notes to try to bring up to date).

ALTMARK, SACHSEN-ANHALT
Training area: located north of Magdeburg on the Colbitz-Letzlinger heide. This training area is the third in row behind Bergen and Grafenwöhr. From 1934 on the DEU used this area as test area for Artillery and anti-tank weapons. After the war the SOV used it as training area. The T-34 which is preserved is only the turret which is located along the public road dividing the training area. The other T-34 is a hull only which is in a very bad condition
