Leave them at the entrance please
(Regrettably, I lost the link and cannot attribute this amazing work. If it's yours – well done and thanks) Edit: Thanks to (the very clever) Herkybird this diorama appeared at Euro Militaire 2013. I still can't find the name of the artist |

I'd love to know how the driver managed that one. Were they backing up when they did it, maybe? I can see a couple of ways to wind up on those steps right side up and maybe one other way to get it there upside down--but only with the turret low rather than high. |

The way my brother drives, he could have done it driving straight forward, on a clear, windless mild spring day with no-one shooting at him. |

Backing in, slowly, from left to right. They then tried to elevate the gun to lever themselves back up. Didn't seem to work very well. |

That woman in the grey dress must be a Marvel Super-hero, she pushed the T-55m over! Just sayin' |

I can't address the tank. I'm still draining my blood to meet the no alcohol restriction. |

From what I could find it's a T-34/85 that crashed into the entrance of the metro station at Alexanderplatz in Berlin in 1945. No idea how it came about or if this was before or after the fighting. |

"Honest Starshina, I was trying to back up to pivot right, and this nice student kept saying, "your doing fine, back it up" Next thing I know the tank swung vertical and I fell back inside." "Do you think maybe that student didnt mean well?" "I think you may be onto something, private." "Im a corporal, Starshina." "Not anymore." |
