"Hey guys! After the German vehicles burried along the Bulgarian-Turkish border got worldwide media attention recently, the Army finally decided to save what is left still there! Far too late, many of the hulls have been already scrapped, also small parts copped from te stll remaining ones.... but well, better late than never!

More than 30 Pz IV and StuG of different types are still out there. The General Staff has ordered all these to be salvaged! At least 8 /experts will choose the best ones/ will go to local museums, the rest may probabl;y be put for sale.

Starting yesterday, the first two vehicles have already been dug out of the ground and transported t safety! Here are pictures from the salvation of a StuG. Interesting, it has a PzIV commander hatch??

From the 22:00 news yesterday"
