Default Tank Recovery in Bulgaria

Ran across a 7 min long UTube Video on the weekend showing the recovery of at least 9 ex-WW2 Panzers of various Marks from a string of revetments along a fixed defensive line that was probably built in the late 1940's or early 1950's. A few of the vehicles were still on their tracks but most were sans engines.

Seems odd so much trouble was taken to set up such a defensive works when Germany proved so early in the war how easily they could be dealt with in combat. There were similar projects built in Norway after the war with exGerman Panzers and I believe Holland did some similar work with Staghounds.

Wonder how many more of these ex-Tank lines are still quietly sitting out there in Europe and elsewhere and how long it will take for them all to work their way into the collector market?
