Hull down position?

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.

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."
