Came across this story on the BBC website today about a group who retrieve Russian and German tanks that became bogged down and "lost" in swamps and waterways during the fighting on the Eastern Front.

Their restored KV looks incredible. And they are paid to do it all....must be a interesting job.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.
