More KV-1 shots from the web, here a KV-1A pulled from a river. The best bit is some decent interior/engine shots

It looks like you could almost start it up and drive off, it's very well preserved.
They do seem to find tanks in rivers and lakes on a regular basis! How do they all end up in there in the first place?
Thanks for posting

Great find there Anthony .. i watched this tank bring recovered on youtube only a couple of weeks ago ..you wouldn't believe the things they pulled out of it .. it was fully armed ..they must have removed something 40 main guns rounds,dozens of the round machine guns mags and i think 3 boxes of hand grenades, you also see them driving it after it was resorted ..its in beautiful shape .. hope many more finds like this one appear .
