German Company Dismantles Europe's Excess Military Hardware

EDELEBEN, GERMANY - APRIL 23: Several Marder light tanks that once belonged to the Bundeswehr are seen at the Battle Tank Dismantling GmbH Koch on April 23, 2014 in Edeleben, Germany. Since the early 1990s the company has dismantled over 15,000 tanks and other armoured vehicles, from German, Austrian, French and other European arsenals, as many nations reduce their military forces in accordance with the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty.
