Okay guys, I need your expertise. How do you tell the difference between FLAK and Tank Binoculars? I'm not sure what these are. Is there a difference or are they the same?
Thanks!
Mike

A pair of early Busch flak binos - nice one!
Tank optics are usually "straight through" viewing but flak optics, having to look up into the sky, tend to be angled and thus easier on your neck.
PS The ultimate book on these fine optics is just out;

PS I should have added - it a later war paint scheme from after the Allies defeat of the Afrika Korps.
