WWII Tank Discovered
A bizarre discovery was made recently in Chartres, France. And here is a pic:
Seen above is a World War II US tank that was discovered buried under a street. The M5 light tank was from the 31st Tank Battalion, and was a part of the 1944 D-Day invasion force. I wonder how it got buried where it did, and why it was left undisturbed, and undetected for so long?
Very cool find though.
