The former were all at the front and the latter up in the air. Given the state of panic in Germany during 45 anybody found hiding vital war machinery would have be offed by the SS or Gestapo . I don't think German QMs were anything like Brit ones.

All German houses, building etc have cellars and someone pointed out earlier, Army camps over here have loads of maintainance tunnels.

Items such as helmets, rifles, ammo etc may have been found under barracks squares but there'll not be any tanks,self propelled guns or Battalions of Wehrmacht.

I would imagine that AFVs were found by the Allies in base type workshops, but I doubt any were buried. You'd have to ask your self why they would want to in the first place, when they were needed to stop the Allied onslaught.

Actually recently there have been arms caches found in Germany, intended for a Werewolf partisan movement, but never used. But these caches contained small arms, MGs, Panzerfausts and maybe mortars plus the respective ammo. A tank is simply too big and too difficult to hide for a partisan movement.

I wouldn't rule it out. AB, the Germans may have wanted to use all their tanks in the front but the whole reason they couldn't was from lack of fuel. So maybe they put some of the 5000 tanks, majority out of fuel, in bunkers to wait until they had fuel. Either way, its a cool legend

This is not a military haunting but it links into hauntings.

Team gather in cell to do a vigil when shouting from the cell corridor was witnessed by many, this could not be explained as all team were accounted for.
A digital voice recorder picked up a voice shouting 'Get out of here'!
Another digital voice recorder picked up voices of more than two people (spirit) having a conversation and laughing in another cell.

The voice was very harsh and later on he did reappear. The conversation was long and clear once digi enhanced. But it was evil to listen too. This was from Inveraray Jail up in highlands.

For spookyness, the old Allied Control Authority Building housing the Berlin Air Safety Centre was the champion. Tales of ghosts (murdered US Airmen, accidental falls down the main staircase, etc) were legion. However, the most awful part of the place was (is) the room where the principal protagonists of the plot against Hitler were strung up with piano wire, after being tried by Friesler in the court downstairs.

When I visited it in the mid 80's it had obviously been left entirely as it had been found so many years before, despite the building being in constant use. The room has three arched windows at one end, and a beam with meathooks across the ceiling (if I remember correctly) where the conspirators were filmed hanging for Hitler's pleasure. It was a very quiet and deeply unpleasant room. Anyone patrolling that building at night would need a strong constitution.

I worked in this place (which was quite close to my residence at this time) for a summer job with a building company in the mid 90s (still in university). The building houses today the supreme court of the state of Berlin. There were still Allied signs around in the building, I think they were preserved as historical monuments (similar to the grafitti from Russian soldiers in the Reichstag).
Before the Nazi regime the building house the high court of Prussia (Kammergericht).
Concerning the Freisler trials, the executions were carried out in the execution hall of Plötzensee prison. This is the room with the arched windows and the beam with the meat hooks. Back in WW2 the room also house a guillotine. Today it is a memorial and museum.

Edit: Sorry about the boxhead seriousness, but I just had to correct some facts about my home town.

The army Lives/trains and guards on some of the oldest land , with some very DARK history . Is it the old sweats telling the stories . Just to scare the new crows ?
The story . True

myth

A tale from the Tower of London
The sentry stood in front of his box on a dark foggy night in the early hours of the morning .
He heard the distant sound of a horse & carriage on cobbles . It sounded as if the horse & carriage was crossing the moat bridge . As the sound passed he felt something pass at the same time , but saw nothing . The sound fading away towards traitors gate . The moat bridge has been tarmac for many a year . The only way for anything to enter at that time of night would be for the Yeoman Warder (ex wo's) (who is less than eight paces away Byward Tower) to open the outer and inner gates . Its like , you walking on gods green acre .
On way back and returning to the guard room he was complianing about his feet hurting . Removing his boots and socks he found bruises on his toes , later one found to be broken , with similar marks on his boots .

Other places
SPTA Imber village . Lights and movement have been seen late at night ,the church for one (21/22 out playing

). Madhouse plantition (creepy)
Cultybraggan camp Scotland . Ex WW2 pow camp .
You have felt there is something (one)behind you , but there is nothing
