War-time Leica Cameras

- During the Second World War, the Leitz Company had no choice but to produce for the Nazi war effort. On the humanitarian front, however, the Leitz family became heroes: they went to perilous lengths to help Jews escape persecution by assigning them to posts as Leitz employees out of the country. Now known as “The Leica Freedom Train,” this compassion and kindness has become far better known than many of the war products they built under Nazi duress. A fascinating part of history, some of these wartime cameras have found their way into collections, and now, into our rare camera auction.

More than once. Consistence is everything. Lolololol!!!
I had a IIIc (K) back in the 70s, it was a 1942 model in silver, I sold it in the 80s not realising what it would fetch decades later!
I realize I am quite off topic but do anybody know of a good site to stream newly released tv shows online?

Fl = Flugzeug (aeroplane). The Lufwaffe was equipped solely with aeroplanes, which meant everything in its inventory was one, including this camera. Iirc, there were two separate Fl numbers used.
The luftwaffe camera is so amazing. Not only is it a great, high quality camera, but it is also a huge piece of camera history, and a huge piece of world war II history.
We agree! They are fascinating pieces of history, engineering and art. Thanks for watching!
I have one in left , just with small step things
Thanks

Avec see a luffwafe Leica in a cast iron case. Have one.
Sad that Leica are just a investment , they are made to work , to many cameras are never in action .
I'm looking to buy one because I have a thing for old cameras these days it'll definitely get used carefully wasn't made to sit on my shelf!
My 1939 3a is excellent condition, but I use it as normal . It doesn't live in a cabinet.
