For readers familiar with Volume 1, Volume 2 will probably come as a surprise. Although the focus of Volume 2 is on the most produced binocular of all time, the 10 x 80 "Flakglas", this book offers for the first time a real insight into the way the German military and optical industry organised the development, production and distribution of military optics in general. Starting with the D.F. 10 x 80, Volume 2 offers the collector insights into systems that apply to all types of German optics. For the first time, the collector community is presented with a comprehensive taxonomy of German military optics, which shows the diverse interrelationships between the military, politics and the optical industry. The various logistical systems are also highlighted, including the allocation of serial numbers and detailed descriptions of the various repair systems. This book is about anti-aircraft glass, but it offers so much more.
