The tank was instantly recognized as a Soviet T34/76A. All the people who were watching began to wonder why such a powerful machine was left under water.
The T-34 was a very expensive and dangerous machine that was used during World War II. T-34 tanks were the mainstays of Soviet armoured forces during World War II. However, with 44,900 losses, they also suffered the highest tank losses in history.
How did it get there?
The historians have come up with a theory that the tank was dumped in the lake. The vehicle had no damage, so it was clear that the vehicle had been abandoned. Perhaps the soldiers ran away from it.
In WWII, it was common to destroy or sink one’s own machinery and weapons in order to prevent the technology from falling into enemy hands. The last thing that the Soviets wanted was for their enemy to use their own technology against the Soviets.
