French/German tank detritus in far northern Norway


The remains of the Renault FT-17, left situated near the fortified villages of Kongsfjord in the Norwegian province of Finnmark, Northern Norway. 


A lonely spot to be stationed.  I wonder what realistic damage the little gun on that tank could have been expected to do to passing shipping.

  1. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that tank ruin would look GREAT on my lawn.

    1. It would, but you'd have every boy from 7 to 27 coming around to look at it. The city would get wind of it, and might want to have a word with you as well.

  4. The surrender flag long since rotted, look for an old corkscrew.
