Howard,
you must have been dealing with the fake Leica company we always keep 
reading about located somewhere in the Black Forest.
Leica is in the State of Hesse and IS north of Frankfurt/Main (If they 
where north of Frankfurt/Oder, they would almost be in the Baltic). :-)
Cheers
Douglas (even further north of Frankfurt/M. in Hannover)
