If at all possible they were repaired and sent back into action. Even tanks which had been penetrated by an enemy shell and the entire crew instantly killed could often be repaired. A plug would be welded into the hole where the shell came through, and some lucky guy got to clean out the human remains. The Russians frequently repaired even German tanks, and used them alongside their own. As the Allies advanced through France into Germany they did not bother to repair enemy tanks, though they did fix up their own if possible. Many destroyed tanks remained right where they were until long after the war. A tank is a heavy thing, and takes a specialized vehicle to remove it. An ordinary automobile wrecker doesn't have the power. In places in Russia there are still hulks of destroyed tanks.
