[Leica] OT: Built like a tank?

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

Interesting use of an old tank turret on a concrete 
emplacement - is he actually holding a Leica?

It looks more like an M to me. Take a look at the video 
here - there's a split second that shows him whipping 
out a camera to take a shot - it's certainly much 
smaller than the S2 he was shown holding a while back 
(and nobody ever actually said it was his or that Leica 
gave him one as a gift)
