US-Army spotter scope

[Reibert]

Hi !

Wanna show you this US-Army spotter scope, I bought a couple of day´s ago at a little flea-market.
I was told, this particular scope was used by a sniper of the Wehrmacht in Yugoslavia late 1944 till early 1945.
BTW, the man was a mountain trooper.

This spotter scope was the property, (as I was told), of the German Mountain Trooper Karl Endgassner.

Endgassner, (a native of Styria), was "drafted" as a sniper in Yugoslavia, after shooting down tree partisans of a treetop, bottom up !

Karl Endgassner was living after the war in Grödig, (near Salzburg), and used this scope, (as a huntsman), for hunting deer.
