After WWII, weapons of the war traded in two ways: the colorful world of private arms dealers, and governmental nation-to-nation transfers. The more boring of the two methods made up the vast bulk: 90% in the free world, and 100% in the East Bloc, where of course there was no private enterprise.

Spændende....jeg har læst om Politiets og Forsvarets salg af våben op igennem 50'erne. Det var et slaraffenland den gang.
