Doing a google for tank+wrecks comes up with a quite a lot.

However, whcih theatre are you interested in. You’re more likely to find them on the Pacific islands than in Europe.

This file is little slow to load but has a number of Japanese tanks abandoned in situ:

here is one I took in 1982. The tank is just north of Arnhem. That is my cousin Freddie posing in front. There are a few more on this old battlefield as well.

There can’t be a lot of tanks leftover anywhere, they’re far too valuable as scrap…
