Many years ago when I was a very young GI in Germany one could go to the antique stores or Saturday morning flea markets and find Third Reich Militaria. At least back then it was still relatively affordable. I seem to remember that after the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII the price of collectables skyrocketed. I had a pretty good collection of stuff when I came back to the U.S. but ended up selling it later while suffering financial difficulties. In Russia and some other Eastern European countries people actually dig up graves in Wehrmacht cemeteries just to find items like that to sell.
