German lawyers wrangle over pensioner's WW2 tank in basement

FFS, they want to fine him huge amounts for having a small armoury in his basement. Laughing No sense of humour these krauts.

Can I have the tank please,

Heil Hitler.

I guess the pensioner lit his coal fire with that 2nd treaty that the Bosch had to agree to as terms of surrender.
If memory serves, they'd wiped their arses with the first one hadn't they?

It gets better...

"The discovery of the Panther and the other weaponry did not come as a surprise to local residents, however, many of whom gathered outside the house to watch the whole furore. Locals claimed it was common knowledge that the man owned the tank and that he had previously used it to plow snow from the roads during winter.

Alexander Orth, the Mayor of Heikendorf, who was present during the tank's removal, told local media that the owner "was chugging around in that thing during the snow catastrophe in 1978"."

As a follow up, the old tank commander was fines 250000 euros and given a 14 month suspended prison sentence. FFS that's a bit OTT. Laughing

I do like this comment from the mayor though.....

When asked his thoughts on the ownership of the tank, the mayor replied, "One loves steam trains, the other old tanks."

To give you a taste of what you're missing, not owning a tank:
