Telescopic Sight
A couple of points I have noted about these particular sights are;
1. The reticle pattern is very simple, a cross hair and a couple of lead marks. Besides determining lead, the marks could aid in determining the range to a target of a known size, eg. if a medium tank (PzkpfwIV) appears in your sight from the left lead mark to the right lead mark, the tank is 300yds, if the medium tank fits between a lead mark and the verticle line, the tank is 500yds. However, for engaging moving tgts I would have expected something a little more complex. 2. There is no evidence that an eyepiece of any kind was ever fitted, not that I would ever consider having that sight anywhere near my eye when the trigger was depressed!, but a rubber eyecup would aid in setting up proper eye relief. Note: the size/range estimates in para 1. are just wild-assed-guesses. I find the thought of firing 120 rds per min of AP at a panzerIV at 500yds most appealling. You might convince me that no rounds would pierce the armour but, boy o' boy I'd sure ring his bell! Cheers
