From what I've read the Tank was purchased in England and imported to Germany.

I read the German newspapers about this, and did not get that story. However, the 78 year old guy has a permit dated 2005 for it, it has been demilled (cannot shoot) but the police is not sure if that permit is still all valid today. They are investigating if he is violating the "War Weapon Law".

It is a bit like Gibbs in NCIS; how the heck did he get those things into that cellar?

OK, quick update - editing.

The cellar is an under-ground garage located under the house. Problem seemed to be that the tank had to make several sharp corners to get out. Under this link are some more pictures. And the guy definitely was violating the lwa with those things, even when demilled.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather have this gun taken from the same feller in that raid:

Make a good addition to a gun truck

A very nice pics show on the find

and a short video, if you can stand the prior adverts and the bla bla.

and a bit better here. The 20-odd soldiers needed over 9 hours and two tracked wrecker tanks to get the tank out and onto a lowbow.
