Well....The reason why I know why parts being are sold...it because I bought some of them.
I have numerous contacts in Russia, and some of the people on the recovery team kept what the museum did not want.
They then offered the parts for sale on various Russian forums.
I knew about the wreck and acquired the parts before the video was posted online.
I was not in any way saying it was BAD that the parts were being sold. I rather save the parts than have them be thrown out or scrapped.
The StuG III that was pulled from a bog a few years back (see youtube) was taken apart and sold for parts..as a perfect example.
When these Me109 parts were offered, I grabbed them, so they were not sent to the scrapper.
