That is some serious mud! Nothing is worse than having to slog through the mire.

Interesting shot of what appear to be fresh Pzkw IV's being dug out... that'll spoil the carpet!

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing.
Soviets had plenty experience with this kind of weather conditions that is why most of their tanks had much wider tracks then German tanks to begin with. Just compare T-34 with PzKw III and PzKw IV for example...

It pretty bad when you have to go diving to find your tank.

Great pics, B17!
