from a oyutube comment, not a reliable source. but no source was given to the scrap metla theory either.

WW2 Nazi tanks are rare
Nazi tanks have this odd sexyness
This kind of odd sexyness attracts people
Museums depend on the sale of tickets

Must I go on?

1M seems a tad too high, but anyway, you'll get much more for the whole tank compared to its worth as scrap metal (it's not a contemporary fighter plane - 20yrs. ago the Swiss Mirage III went for roughly $30k each....)
