Believable, but you got any source on that claim?

Doesn't detail his relations or desires; but the memorabilia checks out.

A German owning war memorabilia has a high likelihood of being a nazi.
-
I feel like that is some quite important information what was missed out...
-
Elon Musk?

-
Having a basement big enough to store a tank in it is one of my dreams
-
And then I'll use it for D&D. That is if I had friends who had time.
-
If you have a tank, you won't have to worry about friends.

A long time ago, I used to deliver groceries to this guy. Other drivers told me it was not uncommon to see him driving a tank around on his property when he was in better health, but when I was doing the deliveries he was basically on hospice. I got to peek at the collection once when the blinds were left open. I always thought it was wild that private people could own such vehicles. They had the firing pins removed and had been unarmed to some extent, but I feel like it wouldn't be hard to reactivate them if one was so motivated.
-
You’d be pressed to find the ammo, if it even still exists for these vehicles. Plus, how would you even take it from him?
-
I didn't mean to take it from him, I just meant like what if he just decided he wanted to blow some shit up one day? It just seemed nuts that a random guy could just own a hundred + tanks.
-
Tractors, flatbed trailers with a strong truck, another tank, d11 dozer, trained personal. All viable tank relocation choices.
-
-
To clarify, not the guy in the pic, but a local who had a collection
-
-
Is it illegal to have a tank in your basement?
-
They didn't say it was being confiscated; maybe it's just being removed to a museum or something.

Nvm; violating Germanys War Weapons Control Act and fined $293k. Mostly because he had ammo, artillery, a torpedo, and the weapons were considered functional.
Required to donate/sell them within 2 years.

Calling it a Panzer is still technically correct (Panzerkampfwagen V) but it feels wrong calling it a Panzer when it's more commonly known as a Panther.
-
The War Thunder community has entered the chat and leaked a classified document
-
Just the German name for tank.
-
-
They’ll never find my stratofortress.

"What's Bill doing with all those palm leaves?"
"Oh he's just trying to camouflage his technodrome."
-
-
That would be an awesome museum piece, where it belongs to teach next generations about the cruelties of war
-
Nah, it belongs doing donuts in the snow.
Tanks just wanna have fun...
-
-
Reminds me of this guy, minus the Nazi part.
-
That link doesn't load after 5 seconds for me and I am not waiting any longer. But its a tank, how does it make the guy a nazi?
-
Here, try this one: https://youtu.be/x2fzmrmO2fU
Also the "Nazi" part is being claimed by other comments in this thread.

Um....
-
You're right, wrong thread. Sorry about that.

Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest. What is the charge? A tank? A fully restored tank?
Take your hands of my Pak 40 sir
I thought I was in non credible defence for a moment.
I see you know your Maybachs well.
