The Zeiss trademark fell into dispute following World War II. In the end, the U.S. claimed it as a spoil of war. However, in East Germany the Zeiss company existed and manufactured cameras with the Zeiss logo. Thie Contax D shown in this video was one of those, one that had the model designation removed by U.S. Customs to protect the U.S.-allied Zeiss Foundation in West Germany.
