It is heartbreaking.
Off topic I know but as you mention legal vandalism of historical artifacts, sorry destruction I assisted with the destruction of some seized and surrendered pieces a few weeks back and had the unpleasant experience of seeing a Bren Mk1 being chopped into pieces.
One light moment was when the bugger didn't go quietly. It took a couple of attempts to chop through the receiver in the area of the barrel nut and it nearly broke the hydraulic cutter. That did make me smile.
They made 'em tough back then!!!

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
Back in the 1980s I was at our local flea market and one of the dealers
offered me a chance to by a 1930s vintage Thompson. It had the round
mags and was fully functional. It was just way to expensive for me at that time.
