A Polish arms museum was working Wednesday to rescue a World War II-era German Panzer tank found underground near a scrap metal yard in northern Poland, DPA reported.
The Museum of Polish Arms in Kolobrzeg was working to secure the tank, which was located a few metres below ground near Stargard Szczecinski.
Museum officials called the tank a "jewel" and the first of its kind in the country's arms collections.
The vehicle was discovered after a local man noticed a fragment of it at a nearby scrap metal yard.
Other pieces of the tank will now be dug up and taken to the museum for conservation work, which could take several years.
