This ‘T-34′ resides at our Military Museum, but we have no idea what happened to it or what model it even is. It looks like a T-34/85, but the gun is wrong, has strange headlights attached, possibly different treads and wheels,and is chipped and rusted to hell. There remains the hint of white Berlin markings, but the rest of it’s history is unknown. This is where the story gets good.
So the museum had been expecting one tank, a T-72 from the Middle East. Canadian Pacific was shipping it by rail, and once the flat car reached Calgary they phoned the museum.
“Hey, is this the military museum?”
“Great, we have your tanks ready for you”
“....what do you mean tanks?”
And just like that, out of no where, the museum got a new tank with zero paperwork or anything.
Fucking T-34s man, can’t get rid of ‘em. (Fun fact: I’m the shadow on the left)
