Tanks preserved as monuments

He he :slight_smile:

The tanks are still in this same place. Tanks in Berlin are T-34/76 http://www.mononeurona.org/galerias.php?phid=274&galid=14

Nowdays this tank is rare. Outside former USRR are only 20 tanks this type.

[b]The speed boat /b is in port of town Azov (Азов). The memorial commemorates the Don flotilla that in 1941 - 1942 defended the mouth of the Don river and Taganrog bay (Black sea region).

The rocket
is Russian ICBM R-9 from 1959 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-9_Desna )

The antiaircraft gun is 85mm 52-K, model 1939, located in town Venev (Венев). Here is the link to the site I took it from: http://www.veneva.ru/artilleria.html

T-34 is standing in the town Nighnii-Tagil (Нижний Тагил) in the Ural region (here is more photos: http://history.ntagil.ru/9_105.htm ). It has a tank factory. There is also this monument of T-72: http://history.ntagil.ru/9_162.htm

IL-2 is in Samara town (Самара). Here is the better view: http://www.airforce.ru/memorial/russia/samara/dp.htm

Thanks for info.

Yes I know this web and this web inspired me to do register tanks and planes preserved as monument in Poland.

First, during the Cold War, since ALL of Berlin plus a stretch of Potsdam fell under Allied law, the russians were free to go anywhere in West Berlin (except of corse inside Western allied military installations without invitation). There were regular patrols of usually a Lada manned with an NCO driver and three officers going through West Berlin.

The monument still exists and is, together with the Russian military cemetary in Treptower Park taken care of by the German government.
