That Panther looks like it's in exceptional condition from the one angle. Beautiful tank and piece of history. I love hearing stories of people pulling preserved WW2 tanks out of bogs (or basements). When I was stationed in Germany, I wished I could have found some bunker loaded with P-38s and Lugers.

So it was no secret he had the Panther for over 40 years and he had paperwork showing the main gun was de-milled. He had permission to possess it from local authorities but now he can't? Part of his sentence is to sell or donate to a museum or sell the Panther, 88, and firearms (also de-milled) to other collectors, many of whom are interested are other Germans? How does that make any sense?

He got tired of those 1:16 scale models so scrapped together a 1:1 scale model.  I don't see the issue here.   I guess there could be a problem if he had several hundred rounds of cannon ammo for it, but just small arms ammo and a dressed up winter emergency transport?  No problems.

What's wrong with rounds for the cannon?

It's gotten to wear "sitzpinkler" is no longer an insult. But, truth is a shitload of Germans just learn to keep their mouths shut.

Defence lawyer claims most of the collection is scrap metal. Offers a 50k fine plea deal ( about $70k )

Prosecution asserts that much contravenes their war weapons legislation.

A museum has offered to buy the tank.

Very interestingly, this is apparently not a genuine 'NAZI' Panther.
You can skip directly to mention of this guy's tank at 7:00
It was built by the British using spare parts found at the end of the war. (they built a handful from remaining parts)
I do realize the Nazi's built the parts, that comprise the tank.
