Police in northern Germany have seized a World War Two tank which was being kept in a pensioner's cellar.
The Panther tank was removed from beneath the 78-year-old's house, along with a variety of other military equipment, including a torpedo and an anti-aircraft gun. All were inoperable, but prosecutors are vigorously checking to see if he has broken any law.
WW2 enthusiasts in Texas said that bidding had reached $200,000 amongst their members over who gets to shoot the wreck with their legal and privately owned, restored and functioning Sherman tanks.
