Russia Fished a Sherman Tank out of the Sea

(via Popular Mechanics) During the Second World War, the United States sent thousands of tanks and armored vehicles to the Soviet Union as military aid. The flow of arms and equipment was vital in keeping the Soviet Union in the fight, and ultimately 4,102 M4 Sherman medium tanks were sent to the Eastern Front—where they were known as Emchas.  In 2014, one that didn’t make it was brought to the surface… in really good shape.
