Per Hitman’s research it seems the Germans dropped the stadimeter with integrated RAOBF early in the war in favor of binocular optics. The thinking I guess was that the added spatial awareness made up for it. So the
C/2 Standsehrohr attack scope (ie the one we all know and love) did NOT have that feature.

Some details here: http://www.tvre.org/en/aiming-with-the-periscope

See especially drawing 16.
