ZF-41: Germany's Worst Sniper Scope
This video delves into the German ZF-41 sniper scope, often dubbed "Germany's Worst Sniper Scope." It explores the historical context of its development, stemming from lessons learned in the 1939 invasion of Poland, and its intended role as a squad-level designated marksman optic. The video details how the ZF-41 was ultimately repurposed for fully trained snipers due to a shortage of other scopes, and the criticisms faced by snipers regarding its low magnification and narrow field of view when mounted on the K98k. It highlights the scope's widespread production and its status as a common WWII German optic, also touching on modern reproductions.
