    Actually the German intelligence services stole the Norden bombsight in the mid to late 1930s. The Germans could not get their copy to work so they sent the German-American worker who stole the plans to Germanyicon to get the German copy to work. I believe the German produce the Norden as the Model 1937 bombsight. The US Army Intelligence services were surprise to say the least when they found an exact copy of the Norden bombsight after the war. It was just one of several pieces of US government classified hardware found.
