My interest in WWII armor recoveries has been growing by leaps & bounds lately. There are more and more reports of Panzers, T-34s, etc being pulled pristinely intact out of WWII battlefield boggs and the like. Some of these machines are in such condition that the recovery parties are able to actually get the engines running in short order. Many of these vehicles are extremely rare and command astonishing prices, and I'm amazed that there doesn't seem to be any type of forum on the web where people can gather and discuss this type of activity. IMO this is substantial stuff, and such recoveries should get more attention than they seemingly do now.

Are there any organized communities (such at WIX) that have a common gathering place on the web to discuss these things? Scott, maybe you'd be interested in taking the lead on this? ;)
