These Lost Tanks stand rusted in place in western #Germany, inside a 220-hectare area that once served as an armed forces training ground. The tanks were used as hard targets for artillery practice, but this area of the forest is now a protected nature reserve.

Some tanks sit in wet pasture where ponds have formed in old track marks. Others rest among the mixed spruce, pine and beech forest.
