Lucien:

Wild used to own Leitz and the Leica name in the 1980's.  I have original
boxes with price stickers that sho the manufacturer as Wild Leitz.

As for Leica optics and technology being used fpr military purposes, it
does contadict the peaceful nature of photographing with a fine Leica Camera.

Robert Stevens
