Pretty cool. I hope they clean it up and do something nice with it.

Let's hope they do something NICER and more respectful with it this time.

And if they ask "why should I", be sure to answer them in German.

Im sure that abandoned tanks make great landfill when it comes to repairing bomb crater damage in fields and streets. Saves on shoveling and takes care of disposing of the tank. Stuarts did not fare too well in the European theater, so I doubt US forces were in a great hurry to salvage it for continued use.

But I agree that this time they should do something befitting the sacrifice the crew probably made before having to leave it behind.
