Construction workers in Germany digging along the North Sea’s rugged coast discovered a massive World War II relic painted with evidence of its dark past. According to archaeologists in the district of Cuxhaven, about 58 miles northwest of Hamburg, experts recently excavated a nearly complete Sturmgeschütz III (StuG III) assault vehicle. The remnants of this formidable tank have been buried in the sand beneath the Nordholz naval air base for over 80 years.



Visible gun barrel markings suggest the nearly complete StuG III took down at least 17 enemies.
