Just finished watching (again) "Das Boot," that great German anti-war 
film set in 1941.  Finally got a good look at the Leica the young 
correspondent brings on board with him.  Looks like a IIIc to me, 
maybe with an f2.0 Summaron?

He's a bit of a klutz with the camera, winding the film using the 
knob as, well a knob, rather than rolling his forefinger along it, 
but then, maybe he's supposed to be a bit of a klutz at the beginning 
of the film.

Not a very good picture of him but the best shot of the camera I could find.
