Repainted
Some experts thought the tank was captured by the enemy and then repainted with their symbols. Overall, the theory was that the Germans ended up dumping it so that it didn’t get retaken. The next step occurred in the Gorodenko Museum.
Amazing Condition
Another detail about this tank was there didn’t appear to be damage. Though the metal was eroded from being underwater, it was in decent condition. In fact, people hoped it still worked!
