Well, german authorities apparently thought it was a bad idea. They neither liked the 88 mm AA cannon or the torpedo.

Heikendorf. Around nine hours needed almost 20 soldiers on Thursday alone, to fetch the armored type Panther out of the house and to push on a low loader. This was made possible only by two armored recovery vehicle with plenty of traction, earlier specially built wooden ramps and sweaty millimeter precision at high summer temperatures. The tank was in a subterranean hall, which will consist of several levels.
The loud Bundeswehr nearly 40-ton tanks without chains were discovered during a search in the basement garage of the collector on the day before investigators. "We have trouble getting him around the curve," said army spokesman Ulrich Burchardi on the edge of the work. "The crux of the matter is that we have to use traction." This was partly a precision job. Only on Thursday evening pushed a Bergepanzer the Panthers finally onto a low loader. With it, he was taken to the military training area Putlos.
The Kieler office is investigating the 78-year-old owner of the tank due to a possible breach of the War Weapons Control Act. "The preliminary proceedings," said senior public prosecutor Birgit Hess.
The man's lawyer described the use as disproportionate. "The tank is demilitarized," said attorney Peter Gramsch Deutsche Presse-Agentur. He wants to take legal action against the seizure and claim compensation for his client. "I assume that the tank has been damaged in the action." The same applies to the private road in front of the Villa. There is a certificate of the circle Plön on 31 October 2005 after which the tank has lost his weapons of war property.
At night, the task forces set finally also a 8.8-centimeter antiaircraft gun safe. According to lawyer Gramsch also this was demilitarized.
The World War I-tank apparently stood for years in the posh district in the basement of the 78-year-olds. "This is a full-fledged Panzer" said Heike village mayor Alexander Orth after a visit on Thursday morning. "The use is considered appropriate in full." The tank was also not the only reason for use. Already on Wednesday had guns and a torpedo assured investigators.
Mayor Orth said: "Overall, I have to say: Oh, oh, since presumably someone law has interpreted very broadly, if not ignored I have this mistaken for a Spleen an elderly gentleman It looks as if it is a lot more!... "
The Heikendorfer should have provided from the Nazi era in his garden also art. In this context, he was also advised in the course of investigations by again been submerged Nazi art to the attention of officials. It was about a statue entitled "The Wehrmacht" by Arno Breker, which is in the man's garden. "But that is a copy," said lawyer Gramsch.
The man had the news magazine "Der Spiegel" reported in May that he had a large collection ("but not art") in an underground bunker on his land. There, the Wehrmacht tanks stand ("but not a complete"), which he had eventually bought as scrap in England. He had duly registered all weapons.
