      450 miles (725km) not so far based on Aussie geography but still a distance to get there. Went there a couple of times in the early '80s - Jagdpanther with collapsed suspension was the highlight for me even then. Would love to have a return visit.

    Dear Guys,
    Didn’t know you have people in your staff with a German name (Kurt) and with a French name (Beau) but I realize that the population of Australia is a melting pot of people from around the world. There are also living a lot of people with Dutch routes. A great part of my wife’s family is living in Geelong and in Melbourne. The visit of your 2 staff members to the Panzer Farm in Poland must have been quite impressive for them and I was very surprised how the crew of the farm has realized some well done restoration. Look forward to your next vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

Why am I just now learning that our faithful host is named Kurt and not Cōd (short form of Cody?) I'm usually really good understanding accents, but my dumb brain got it wrong this whole time. That said, at the closing of this video, I very clearly heard him say "Until then, I'm Kurt from Aus Armor" Just the same, what an opportunity to connect with these guys, right where it all happened. I have a feeling after things resolve in Ukraine, there will be tons more tanks available.
