The wartime German lenses are first rate picture taking optics. The Wartime Leica IIIc had a version which added ball-bearing movement to the shutter.
I have three wartime Sonnars, one in Contax mount and two in LTM. No Swastika anywhere in them. I've taken several apart, cleaned, and collimated them.
I suppose the more pertinant question is who would ruin a perfectly good Russian camera and think it was worth $4,000.
