German Voigtlander Artillery Compass

Details

Title German Voigtlander Artillery Compass
Description Compasses like these were used both on the ground and in the air by German balloon crews to determine the range and distance of targets considered for artillery fire. Engineer units and trench digging units may very well have used compasses like these to aid in construction as a more traditional surveying compass.
