Dodgy Middlemen
I had heard all sorts of stories of suspicious middlemen (even Russian Mafia links) ripping off buyers of relic aircraft and armoured vehicles from Eastern Front battlefields. For every recovered restoration project there was something like 10 incidents of false rumours, swindles or extortion attempts. This time it appears to be the Russian Government selling off stocks, not not war trophies in swamps. That said, I'd also like to see pics of what's on offer, perhaps someone knows of the officaial Russian Gov auction or disposals site?
