King Tiger restoration

I am amazed there are not more Panthers and Panzer Mk IVs still out and about as many were still in service in the mid-1950s with Arab armies.

My dad was in France sometime after D Day, he mentioned that farmers fields were filled with German trucks, tanks and other vehicles of all types, some destroyed, but most were in good working order. Someone somewhere made a lot of money selling not only scrap metal but also good working vehicles.
 
Maybe the German tanks were used for target practice in the 1950s, even by the Arab armies when they received newer Soviet vehicles like the T-54/55/62
