A German court on Tuesday convicted an 84-year-old man of illegal weapons possession for having a personal arsenal that included a tank, a flak cannon and multiple other items of Second World War-era military equipment.
The state district in the northern city of Kiel handed the man a suspended prison sentence of 14 months and ordered him to pay a fine of 250,000 euros , the German news agency dpa reported.
Authorities discovered the illegal military arsenal during a 2015 raid of the collector's storage facility in northern Germany in an investigation into black market Nazi-era art that turned up two bronze horse statues which once stood in front of Adolf Hitler's chancellery. Those items were in another man's possession.
