In November 1938, German spy Herman Lang delivered stolen plans of America's top-secret Norden bombsight to the Abwehr in Hamburg. The device was a marvel—2,000 hand-machined parts, gyroscopes, analog computer, and autopilot weighing 23 kilograms. German engineers, led by Dr. Hoffman, studied it carefully but concluded it was too complex for wartime production. They chose their simpler Lotfernrohr 7 instead, which offered comparable accuracy with greater reliability and easier maintenance. When Lang was arrested in 1941, Germans showed little interest—they'd already rejected copying the Norden. America's billion-dollar secret was deemed impractical by the enemy who stole it.
