Both dials display the same bearing, you combine them to read the exact bearings.
Lower dial e.g. show "20 plus a little bit", top dial shows "2.4", then the bearing is 22.4

Basically the top dial is just for the last digit plus the first position after decimal point, which would be impossible to read from the lower dial alone.

Just look at the scope bearing, which allows you to see the last digit (but not the exact first position after decimal point) and compare to what you see on the TDC, so you should get a grasp of it quickly.

The first position after decimal point is somewhat irrelevant for setting the AOB (just round it), but can be useful for calculations for e.g. "Auswanderungsverfahren" (whatever that's called in English, don't know).
