Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest. What is the charge? A tank? A fully restored tank?
Take your hands of my Pak 40 sir
I thought I was in non credible defence for a moment.
I see you know your Maybachs well.

Believable, but you got any source on that claim?

During the search of his property, the police found an underground nuclear shelter, which was built during the Cold War and equipped with Nazi insignia.
Usually Non-Nazis do not decorate their underground nuclear shelters with Nazi insignia.

Really? I’m going to need to give my interior decorator a call. I was assure this was where the market was headed.
I mean the market does seem to be headed that way in America…

What is the more likely scenario though?
Don’t be thick my dude.
“Ten years later, local authorities were again tipped off after officials in Berlin searched the home for stolen Nazi art. During their search, they also came upon busts of Hitler, an Arno Breker bronze statue of a nude man that was reportedly once outside Hitler’s Reich Chancellery, mannequins outfitted in Nazi uniforms, swastika pendants, a V-1 rocket replica, and SS rune-shaped lamps.”

Doesn’t detail his relations or desires; but the memorabilia checks out.
A German owning war memorabilia has a high likelihood of being a nazi.
I feel like that is some quite important information what was missed out…
Elon Musk?
Having a basement big enough to store a tank in it is one of my dreams
And then I’ll use it for D&D. That is if I had friends who had time.
If you have a tank, you won’t have to worry about friends.
A long time ago, I used to deliver groceries to this guy. Other drivers told me it was not uncommon to see him driving a tank around on his property when he was in better health, but when I was doing the deliveries he was basically on hospice. I got to peek at the collection once when the blinds were left open. I always thought it was wild that private people could own such vehicles. They had the firing pins removed and had been unarmed to some extent, but I feel like it wouldn’t be hard to reactivate them if one was so motivated.
You’d be pressed to find the ammo, if it even still exists for these vehicles. Plus, how would you even take it from him?
I didn’t mean to take it from him, I just meant like what if he just decided he wanted to blow some shit up one day? It just seemed nuts that a random guy could just own a hundred + tanks.
Tractors, flatbed trailers with a strong truck, another tank, d11 dozer, trained personal. All viable tank relocation choices.
I guess if he decided to just button up inside you could still just impound it lol
To clarify, not the guy in the pic, but a local who had a collection

The War Thunder community has entered the chat and leaked a classified document
Just the German name for tank.
Is it illegal to have a tank in your basement?
They didn’t say it was being confiscated; maybe it’s just being removed to a museum or something.

Nvm; violating Germanys War Weapons Control Act and fined $293k. Mostly because he had ammo, artillery, a torpedo, and the weapons were considered functional.
Required to donate/sell them within 2 years.
torpedo,
That had me laughing out loud.

You’re making it really fuckin’ hard for me to not make a “yo’ momma” joke, bro.
It’s funny from here, but when your neighbor has multiple hundreds of kilos of 80-year old high-explosive in his house, it becomes somewhat less amusing.
Obviously it’s a horrible situation to be in.
But Mel Books put it best. “Tragedy is when I get a papercut on my pinkie. Comedy is when you fall into a well and die.”

If you’re not a Nazi, but he was, so fuck him.
Man, Germany has to be the fun police.
I’d love some WW2 equipment and munitions.
ncd in shambles rn
They’ll never find my stratofortress.
“What’s Bill doing with all those palm leaves?”
“Oh he’s just trying to camouflage his technodrome.”
That would be an awesome museum piece, where it belongs to teach next generations about the cruelties of war
Nah, it belongs doing donuts in the snow.
Tanks just wanna have fun…
Reminds me of this guy, minus the Nazi part.
That link doesn’t load after 5 seconds for me and I am not waiting any longer. But its a tank, how does it make the guy a nazi?
Here, try this one: https://youtu.be/x2fzmrmO2fU
Also the “Nazi” part is being claimed by other comments in this thread.

Um…
You’re right, wrong thread. Sorry about that.
