Leopard I tanks on Vliehors Vlieland

Cruising through my Flickr stats...one thing led to another and I found myself at Dirk Bruin's amazing photoset,  Leopard I tanks on Vliehors Vlieland.

"Leopard I Main Battle Tanks as targets at the Cavalerie Schiet Kamp tank gunnery range on Vlieland."

This is part of a collection of 9 other sets of amazingly surreal battle/practice wreckage.  I wish I knew more about the back-story (a quick search turns up not a whole lot), but blasted, rusted hulks of tanks slowly being engulfed by mud and the sea is good enough for me.
