[@Bit01]

He has more stories, like when they would race them down the hill through the forest with guys riding on them. If you were still on the tank at the bottom of the hill, after going though all the trees and over all the rocks and stuff, you "won". Nobody ever won, and when they got caught, the officers would make him do reps. That's up through the top hatch, down out the escape hatch, and back up through the top hatch over and over. Then they would go racing again.

[@Easy-Eight]

[@johnf.kennedy7339]

Am an novice historian and recall that the military presence story was disputed when he first spoke about it punting for his political candidate in the early 2000. And that there was probably no Russian presence after WWII. Just that Austria was struggling to recover after the war.
