In the past few years I've seen stories of a barndoor and a Kübelwagen that were literally dug out of the ground, having been completely buried. There was another barndoor that was airlifted out of BFE.
The desert bus was a walk in the park compared to that - all they had to do was drag it up onto a trailer and drive home.

This SC reminded me of this one I've seen years ago. By the way, Schwäbisch Hall is a pretty cool town in Southern Germany, if you ever get the chance to visit!

That's what I was trying to say haha, but I was too excited to see Schwäbisch Hall representing VW again haha or vice versa. Seen the real one in person years ago, trying to remember where...
The Bavarian Pickers' video of that SC makes me wonder how they or whoever discovered it actually saw it given how it was so buried...so cool.
