Reason for offset German sights?

[Von_G]

Hmm...
That's interesting but it seems to be describing the offset of the projectiles nose, rather than the sight.

It seems the right eye thing, and keeping the view of the nose open are the best potential answers, although frankly neither one seems like an especially strong reason.
Maybe as KOM.nausicaa says, the germans just feel a need to be different!
