[Milsurplus] Dutch miltaria seller

Here's another thought.  Equipment outside of the country of origin is less likely to be thought of as classified or critical in any way.  Exceptions exist, of course, the magnetron during WW2, for one example, but a warehouse of 'foreign' equipment abandoned by an absentee owner is likely to go to the highest bidder, no questions asked.  Stuff which goes to the crusher here shows up in flea markets in the Midddle East.  Etc.  My favorite example of that sort of thing is the availability of RCA AR-88s in the US vs the UK.

And, I think I have told the story of trying to bid at a (US Navy) DRMO sale in Spain.  Open to Spanish citizens ONLY.

  I wonder if the US did what Canada did at the end of the war? We gave 
our equipment (radios, vehicles,etc) to our European allies to help 
rebuild their armed forces. They have more Canadian Military Pattern 
vehicles than the country of origin. Same with wireless sets.
