Saw it on the history channel/Discovery? the other day. They has to move it across Germany because reassembling it at the different site was out of the question. Think they said they would cover around 5 miles a day?? Took like 2 months or something. Cool shit. Funny thing is on there way to the new site they passed another one of these things moving across country too lol
