    Wwi german optics

    Jim thanks. You are probably right. Great shame but an opportunity to re-energise this thread. I am coming from the perspective of optics used by machine gun units, and like most in the trenches must have taken advantage of whatever was available. The GOERZ CP Berlin made trench periscopes both monocular and 'binocular' were actually quite common.

    For the Moderator?

    Is it possible to move this thread to another section. I am a user of the LMG section which is where I am hoping to steer this content to. Not sure it belongs in the Military Discussion section as the 'original author' was discussing values. Thanks for your consideration.
