    Come on BD,
    It's a no brainer.. It is Leon Trosky giving a speech to students, in
Copenhagen.
    Did you know the pictures were shot on Kodak Panchromatic Nitrate film
and they were used as a full page spread in Der Welt Spiegel,December 11,
1932?
    However, by this time, the Model D with a built-in rangefinder had been
available since February. So, it's anyone guess. Since, he was young and
broke most of the time, I would think it was a Model A Leica is used.
    Lastly, It is my understanding, Eumig of Austria wnet out of business.
This is one of the unknown reasons why Leica had so many problems getting
the R8 winder & motor out.

Happy Snaps,
Sal
