84-year-old German man convicted after keeping WW2 tank in basement

The 84-year-old, named only as Klaus-Dieter F. due to local privacy laws, kept the Panzer and the 88mm flak gun in a bunker under his home in Heikendorf, close to the northern city of Kiel. Klaus-Dieter admitted breaching the War Weapons Control Act and was handed a 14-month suspended prison sentence and ordered to pay 250,000 euros (£213,000). As well as the tank and cannon, he was also in possession of a torpedo, a mortar, 70 assault rifles and over 2,000 rounds of ammunition.
