You know, I've thought that such expeditions could be a fun and
interesting (as well as potentially profitable) thing. 4-8 people
with an equal share and some recovery gear go over to a site known to
have been the locale of a WWII battle and hunt up old wrecks of rare
items for recovery and restoration.
If I were into German armour, I'd go for it in a heartbeat. I'd be
more interested in British gear though. That means North Africa and
western Europe. Hmm, perhaps I need to take a trip to Egypt.
BTW Aaron, any relation to XXX Corps' commander?
