Re: Unknown Luftwaffe Camera Equipment

The operation of some drift gages is by dropping a small parachuted weight (looks like a bomb) out of the bottom of the aircraft (usually through a drop tube).
You then look through a periscope (might explain the lense), which looks out the bottom of the aircraft and track the parachuted weight in relationship with the aircrafts course.
