I also knew of a couple that were set up for remote observation on sections of the border between East and West Germany using the Zeiss 500 f4.5 Mirotar.
Mirotar lenses were used on the eastern side of the border as well. Quite right - and if you are in the market for a 1000 f5.6, CZJ is your best bet as both the 500 and 1000mm versions pop up quite regularly though neither is cheap.

Just looked at ebay Germany. The 5.6/1000 ZEISS(WEST) is priced at more than 20.000€, ZEISS(EAST) not available. I am quite sure, that the eastern version was never sold to the public but only to Volkspolizei, Staatssicherheit and Nationale Volksarmee.
