Short version: Russian T-34 tank taken by Germans, left in 12 meters of bog in 1944. Removed from bog in 2000. It still runs (http://www.diving.ee/articles/art035.html).

Awesome.

(Site is in Russian, run it through Babelfish (http://world.altavista.com/)).

After 62 years in the bog it looks like new. And the fact that the motor still runs is amazing. I wonder how many more tanks are buried in bogs?:D
