Panzers for Sale
Bulgaria was allied with Germany for most of WWII, but did no real fighting beyond occupying parts of Greece. In 1944, the Soviets invaded and put Bulgarian communists in control, and the Bulgarians joined the Soviets against the Nazis.
...just because.
While the Bulgarians were allied with the Axis powers, Hitler sent the Bulgarians a number of tanks and materiel support. Some of those tanks were scrapped, and others were cemented into barriers, their guns were used as part of a now abandoned defense system along the Bulgarian border with Turkey. A number of these tanks are in decent shape, and the Bulgarians are going to offer the nicer ones up to museums, but after that? The Panzers start at 100,000 Euros.
