German Level & Dive Bombsights (1933-1945)

[Zipper730]

I'm curious if anybody has any information (basic or detailed) on any of the various types of bombsights the Germans used from 1933-1945.

So far I know the following

1. Dive Bombsights
   • Stuvi 5: Used a gyroscopic device to act as an artificial-horizon/pitch-ladder to determine dive-angle. I don't know when it entered service.
   • BZA: Not sure if it was just an attachment to the Stuvi 5, or even solely used for dive-bombing, but it used a gyroscopic system and some measure of computing airspeed (from what it appears, possibly as simple as porting air from the pitot-static system) to continuously compute impact point (the WWII version of the CCIP the USAF uses). I don't know when it entered service.
2. Level Bombsights
   • Lotfernohr 7: Tachometric bombsight based on the industrial (and national) espionage of the Carl L. Norden corporation (and United States) which appeared around 1941. From what I remember, It used a gyroscopic system that, along with a series of mirrors mounted in a telescopic system, determines ground speed, and computes impact point based on known ballistics.

I'm unfamiliar with any other types of bombsights used by Germany, though I know the Fw 200 used a fairly primitive bombsight, I know little detail.

I've got a smattering of info on several German bombsights, what there some specific bit of information you were looking for?

Do you have anything on the earlier level-bombing sights? Pre Lotfernohr 7B

Looks like 7C is earliest I have for a reasonable amount of info.
