Speaking of the UZO, yeah, I can't see that thing being left on the bridge when a dive happens.
It must have been a high-quality, very expensive set of binoculars. Even if that's basically all it was.
I don't see how one could use the UZO to eyeball targets much past 90° to either side. Where would you stand? I imagine the U-boat commanders painted hash marks on the bridge coaming or something, for engaging astern targets. Or just used one of the periscopes.
