The tank was dug out from its muddy grave in France in near-perfect condition.An American tank that formed part of the 1944 D-Day invasion force was discovered buried under a street in northern France.
French bomb disposal experts were brought in to ensure the military vehicle posed no danger before it was dug out from its muddy grave in near-perfect condition.
It is thought the tank from the 31st Tank Battalion formed part of the invasion force that liberated France from the Nazis more than six decades ago.
Older residents recalled the tank entering the city where it had been carrying out reconnaissance when it either ran out of fuel or broke down. When France was liberated it was pushed down a hole and buried, one resident said.
