My WW2 knowledge is heavily lacking, so I would really appreciate a history lesson about this!

Edit: so apparently someone posted the same tank about 5 years ago with different pictures in the subreddit. It might be a normal occurrence for something like that to happen idk, but I do think it’s awesome!!
