First reference I've found to a German torpedo sight - at least, the one fitted to He 111s (I'm guessing that the Ju 88 would have had a similar device) :wink: :

Seems to have been a very simple instrument. Looks to me like an ordinary glass graticule suspended in front of the bombardier's right eye, by means of a bracket attached to the right hand side of the nose framework.

It might even be visible in close-ups of He 111 torpedo carrying aircraft (?)
