I would like to read up on it. There is no one single source for this saga, which means I probably ought to write a book! Emmanuel Goldberg's saga has been documented in a Zeiss Historica Society Journal article some years back; Wandersleb's interesting life in Kingslake. The ultimate source is impending, Larry Gubas' forthcoming history of the Zeiss entities, while the relevant volume of the official Zeiss history is still some years away. My own sources include telephone interviews with Colonel Docter Carl Nelson, erstwhile chairman of the Inter-Allied Committee on Optical Reparations and with Emil Keller, who was assigned to that body. Some of this is mentioned in THE ZEISS COMPENDIUM, but we have uncovered a lot of additional information in the three years, and more, since that volume appeared.
