[Milsurplus] the postwar armored series

[Hubert Miller]

Wammes, a note on your website comment on German radios. Some of the armored series, the UKW receivers and 10WS transmitters,
WERE used postwar for German police use. I don't have the website where these are illustrated but if you wish to see it, it's the same
website that showed the BC-348 and BC-375 in postwar German use, the sets overhauled and repainted and relabeled. Interesting to see
these mounted in a car. At that time i think they still had many to choose from, however the tank connection boxes, intercoms, and 
antenna junction boxes weren't worthwhile then, so that they're now extremely rare.

One subject i have long been interested in is when and how the abandoned war machines were collected up. For Japan, we do know
this, as the demilitarization was well documented, but for the Pacific Islands and Europe and North Africa, i have not really seen any
articles talking about this. I wonder how long, for example, knocked out tanks were still lying around. My father was still there for the
postwar period, but unfortunately i did not ask him about this while i still could. 

Say, the "Dutch GRC-9", the GRC-3030, is this radio rare, or even rarer than rare? Have any idea how many were produced? And was this
just to keep the Nederlands electronics industry alive?
thanks-
