17th century figurehead off of an east india merchantman or warship* pulled from [Wadden Sea] by fishermen. It likely represents a warrior with a Phrygian cap. Phrygians were a mountain people enslaved by the Romans and freed Phrygians would wear such caps. Dutch warships carried figuredheads with Phrygian caps during the Eighty Years War to indicate their rejection of Spanish rule.

* Often commercial vessels were pressed into service, until the second Anglo-Dutch war there were very few dedicated warships.

Stuff the gold - what sort of Jerman tank is it

I think you're misunderstanding the text.

"The gold diggers unearthed a 5ft metal cannister using ground-scanning radars after pinpointing the location with the help of an old SS diary.

Now two months on from their thrilling discovery, the team have been given the green light to bring the tank to the surface."

So it means "tank" as in "5ft metal canister".

--------

The only relevant question here is: Is this the SS brothel that inspired the cinematic masterpieces Band of Bastards 1 through 4 featuring Russia's finest (and only worthwhile) export product Mandy Dee?!? ?
