Actually, I imagine that the minute the war ended, Herr Leitz was actually 
checking himself for bullet holes and watching train
loads of his precious equipment and infrastructure heading off to the 
victors. Also noting that the number of Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe
and Kreigsmarine marked Leicas available on das eBay would shortly exceed 20 
times the production figures that he recalled.

Cheers
Hoppy
