These two huge armored vehicles almost look alike and yet one was a
modular towing vehicle and the other a massive 130 ton armored
minesweeper. IIRC, both were captured by the US Army. Do either of
them still exist as a display somewhere?

The weird Alkett VsKfz 617 minenraumer traktor sits in the Kubinka
Museum in Russia along with the odd Kugelpanzer, so I was hoping that
somewhere in storage are the LW-5 and Raumer S...

Anyone know?
