Actually, it is Herr Cohn! One thought: Has anyone investigated Herr Cohn's
business past? Is is possible that he was brought on board by the
Supervisory Board of Leica to prepare the company for  sale to a Japanese
outfit with deep pockets? The name is worth a fortune for optical products.
Moreover,  it happened at least in two other instances(Zeiss and
Voigtlander) and  I'm sure Marc with his encyclopedic memory can cite many
more cases.
