Boy Discovers Long-Abandoned Metal Object in a Lake—War Secrets Uncovered

The Narva Front

The Narva front in northeastern Estonia witnessed fierce combat between February and September 1944, resulting in an astounding loss of life. The bloody conflict claimed the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers, while 300,000 others were wounded. In the summer of 1944, the German army captured a tank from the Soviet forces, which was subsequently utilized with markings that were exclusively German.

However, on September 19, 1944, as the German troops commenced a tactical retreat along the Narva front, it is speculated that the tank was deliberately driven into a lake and abandoned by the retreating army as a part of their strategy.
