A German telescopic field-periscope
A photograph of a German army field-periscope captured by the French army in 1916. The device, whose telescopic tube could be extended up to twenty-five meters in height, was used to observe the surrounding terrain for great distances and could be packed for travel as shown in the inset picture. The French army officers who discovered the periscope are reported to have at first mistaken their prize for a new type of German artillery
