And they can't translate "Vor Sonne Schutzen" in context???

You don't have to no much about German WWII IR-equipment (or any early IR-equipment, Gen.0, for that matter) to know that the image intensifier/converter tube had to be protecteted against direct sunlight or it would "burn" out.

Welcome to the wonderful world of generating visits to a site - I knew that, you knew that, and Bovington probably knows it as well. If they had posted it people would have probably visited once to read it and got the answer. By not putting the answer and asking the question a lot of people will go back to the site later to see if there is an answer - does wonders for a sites visitor count.
