Description

A wrecked Tiger, number "831", has been sitting here since before these trees had leaves. Halted by a mine, it was abandoned by the Germans when they retreated from Kharkiv. Now it has been stripped of reusable parts, leaving the bare hull.

A small house still stands there at time of writing (2017) altough it may have been partially or completely rebuilt. Many of the neighbouring houses no longer exist.
