It took three days to lift this AMO-2 of the war time from the bottom of the Msta river. Finally the truck showed up from the 4 meters depth to be delivered to the Novgorod citadel for restoration.
There were remains of the driver’s body in a padded jacket in the cab of the truck, in the back of the vehicle – a divisional 120mm mortar with shells. The driver could not be identified but it’s known he died in winter 1944 during an offensive operation of Soviet troops for Novgorod liberation.
