Reds broke into the Leica factory while it was under control of the Brits,
used a Soviet copy of a Minox to photograph all plans and models of a Reid
camera which is a copy of a Leica camera and went back to East Germany to
begin copying the Reid camera, which of course is a copy of a Leica camera.

Who's minding the fort?
