Fuzzy Tanks in Micronesia
Pohnpei, Micronesia - jeeff - Thursday, June 9th, 2005 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
so i was searching for images to add to elaine's fuzzy tank article, but i stumbled across something so cool i thought i should post it separately.
"At the end of World war II the US forces requested that the Japanese concentrate their equipment for disarmamment. All tanks were parked for inspection on the Etscheidt property outside Kolonia, Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia. This is where they remain to the present day."
- Dirk R. Spennemann (1999), The Japanese Tank Farm on Pohnpei, Micronesia.
the rest of Dirk's article (more cool photos!) at marshall.csu.edu.au/html/PNI_Tanks/PNI-tankfarm.html

and for reference, micronesia:
