I can't get enough of this sort of thing - recovering WWII fighting vehicles in such great shape. Even the second vehicle is fascinating, as it records what must have been a direct hit - a major piece of history in itself. In fact, I'd be tempted to preserve it exactly as it is. Awesome!

[Ferreal]

I'm glad there are still people willing to preserve history rather than hide it. Future generations need to be reminded how brutal and cruel history can be and how easily repeated if we forget.

[palomino]

Great work from all of you guys, thanks for rescuing and preparing another piece of history for us to look at and learn from !
I keep my thumbs pressed and wish you all the best for restoring it - maybe even getting the 250 back in running condition !
How almost 130 people can ever dislike this is completely beyond me !

[clairblong]

Great recovery effort. Saving vehicles and artifacts from the past helps the current and future generations learn what happened then.

I wish there was greater interest and investment in finding, recovering, restoring and preserving old machines like these.
Seeing old War Relics like these just decaying into rust and mud just saddens me. Brilliant work mates! ^.-.^

[bamafan]

I love what you all are doing preserving a part of history. Keep up the good work!

[jpmerce]

You folks look like you are professionals at underwater retrieval. Well prepared and Amazing work. Thanks for posting.

[LeveretteJamesClifford]

Amazing, the best video on a water recover of not one, but two vehicles! I am impressed with the planning and execution undertaken AND with the high quality video production! Great work!

[macdaniel]

70 years under water and it still looks good. Amazing!

[gernaneering]

Great music to go with the historic work that you are doing before these precious machines are lost forever to decay, i love the work that you do so keep on finding more and more for the current and future generations.

I love to see these old relics restored..there history has a tale

Ten 250 zachował się w niesamowicie dobrym stanie. Nawet numer boczny widać i malowanie kamuflażowe. Gratulacje wydobywcom i dzięki za poświęcenie czasu oraz niemałych pieniędzy na wydobycie.

A friend of mine goes on 'TREASURE HUNTS'. They would take Military maps from WWII. An for several days, would look at the tank routes.They were fortunate enough to find a GERMAN ARMY in retreat from the RUSSIANS. It was just during a winter snow fall that turned worse!! They found 17 tanks that had stopped in the ice of a river. MK111 AND MK1Vs!! They recovered most of them. They were sealed up by the crews, as they had expected to recover them.NEVER DID! An under-taking that paid off! They were in almost perfect order since 1943! AMAZING! They are now sitting in ENGLAND, waiting to be in a museum, or movie studio perhaps!My friend has a dozen (still in crates), WWII Japanese aircraft, found in a couple of caves! He still has them in storage last I knew. Love these recovery vids!! THANKS!! Naples, FL.(S.W.Coast).

sd.kfz 250 jedna z moich ulubionych maszyn wermachtu! Praktycznie najlepszy przedstawiciel wszelkich innych pojazdów półgąsiennicowych! Kocham jego wygląd jak i dużą swobode do modyfikacji (w końcu miał on ponad 20 wersji rozwojowych)

[emilioalcazar-suvi]

Awesome historic jewels.. Great your work..!

[TheSaturnV]

Looks like the Kfz 7 might have been towing the Kfz 250 back for repairs when they both got dumped in the river. Note the starboard side track of the 250, which is missing the idler wheel and the track has been shortened and routed over the remaining wheels. This was common practice in German armor recovery.

[mooglemy]

Great recovery. But additionally removing those 1/2 tracks stopped them from polluting the river water later on when corrosion caused oil leaks from the engine, transmission and gear box. Good job and great use if your equipment plus the amphibs prop wash to move sediment.

[creightonleerose]

Add the water obstacle-feature to your previous slack-tracking on right side (AKA: Vee havn nien idlerstadt!) they must been having some ridiculously spooked n' hope-laden fun?
Impressive recovery op there. Nice

[garylangston]

Great video thank you be nice to see both running in the future keep up the good work.

[autounionv]

Where was the rear wheel on the right hand side? It looks to have had a repair to get it out of trouble....
