Its turret sits loosely on top of the hull and its transmission cover sits on the ground in front of it. In August 2003 it was moved by a Leopard recovery vehicle from the impact area of the Hammelburg range. It is believed that it is one of the three M4A3 (105) HVSS Shermans of Task Force Baum and that it was pulled into the target area to be used as a target after the war. It took the support of the deputy commander of the Infantry School at Hammelburg to recover the wreck. Together with “Target 25” the wrecks of an M2 half-track and a Sexton self-propelled gun were recovered. The wrecks are placed now at the former Reussenberg Farm, the place where Task Force Baum was scattered on 28 March 1945. (Source: TaskForceBaum.de).
