As far as I recall, the markings on quite a few ex-Nazi cameras were 'officially' milled out. After the war, ALL cameras were supposed to be handed over to the occupying authorities, but this didn't always happen, and it's the ones where it didn't happen (exchanged for cigarettes, etc.) that still have the markings. This is right at the limits of my memory -- 'something I read somewhere, once' -- but I think I've seen it documented somewhere.
Likewise, I vaguely recall that the Standard SS issue camera was the Contax, not the Leica.
Anyone else's memory in better order?
Cheers,
R.
