Notice the range finder the guy on the ground is using, German piece of kit?

Hi

Nice picture. The vehicle is Swedish made Landsverk Anti II anti aircraft vehicle, bought in 1942, with 40 mm Boforfs automatic gun (40 ItK 38) with 120 rounds/minute and effective range of 2000 meters and assigned to the Anti Aircraft Battery in the Armoured Brigrade. The range finder is obviously German Zeiss of 70 or 100 cm device.
