...aiming help for the Jerries ? ?

...Maybe, but considering the Allied overwelming airpower and superiority,
with triggger happy hunters in Thunderbolts and P 51s etc. flying about, I
would feel more safe as a GI in a vehicle with a prominent big white star,
circled or not,
just to make sure the fellows in the air get the story, before dropping bombs,
firing rockets or spitting .50 bullets...

Surely one would encounter more allied aircraft than any Sd.Kfzs or
Panzerschrecks...

BTW: the German veterans I know did not need any aiming help anyway. There
were so many allied vehicles about, that you would hit something where ever
the barrel was
pointed...provided you had some ammunition to spare !
