equipment in museums, private collections and military stores. The volume
confirms the high standard of optical and precision engineering achieved by
Zeiss at the beginning of the Second World War. It is an invaluable tool for
optical research, as well as being a textbook for students of modern military
history and a guide for every curator or collector of the subject material.
Last, but not least, it makes a major contribution to the history of the most
famous of all manufacturers of precision optical instruments, Carl Zeiss
Jena.
