Wow, The Museum of Military Technology in Chrcynno just pulled a WW2 German half track out of Pilica river near Górki




A German light armored halftrack SdKfz 250 Ausf “Neu” was recovered from Pilica river near Górki village (Poland) by The Museum of Military Technology in Chrcynno.  Its in an amazing condition the front wheels rotate, tracks still on and also quite a bit of the original paint scheme visible. Remains of red shields painted on the rear and front makes 25 Pz.Div. most likely candidate.

After long period of preparation, hundreds of hours spent writing all the required documents, they have finally executed their plan. They would like to present the extracted object in the next year on a display of their Museum. They invite you to look at the photos of their discovery

  1. Wow! It looks like it was only in the river for about a week.It looks better than ones that have been sitting neglected on dry land for the same period of time. Maybe the bottom of a river is a good place for long term storage. Want to preserve your Hemi-Cuda for 70 years? Just throw it in the river.
