I didn't know SIM was explored back in the 60's! I'd sure like to read this

Has anybody on the list read the article? Anyone aware of an English

Hi Andrew,

I ported the abstract to Google Translate to make an attempt at a
translation  (since I'm at home, and can't access the full document)
Here's what I got:

"As is known, the diffraction with the achievable resolution of an optical
system (formulated more precisely: the bandwidth of the transmitted from the
local system frequency band) is a fundamental limit. In the present work a
new method for optical imaging is illustrated with a contingent of the
diffraction limits beyond Auflüsungsvermögen: The optical system itself is
used unchanged. In (or near) the object plane but a mask is spatially variable
transmission (eg a grid) mounted or ready there. This mask must be moved over
the object field. A second such mask is placed in the (intermediate) image
plane. This mask has to be displaced over the image field. The two masks
perform another optically conjugate scanning movements about the
object or image
field. The resulting masks during the scanning of the image is of a
radiation receiver suitable inertia (eg, eye, film, etc.) is integrated
over time. The result is an image of the object with high resolution.
(The bandwidth
of the transmitted spatial frequency band is increased., The method is
effective
in coherent, any partially coherent and incoherent object
illumination. His action
and imaging properties are described."

I'll see if I can get the full text at some point

I have the article but although I do know some German it's a bit too technical for me (I can usually handle biological papers).  It is cited in Mats Gustafsson's seminal paper in PNAS  September 13, 2005  vol. 102  no. 37  13081-13086.  So far as I can see it is pointing towards Mats' approach but it is totally theoretical (no images).   It certainly is not unknown.

Awesome, thanks for the help, everyone! Glad to fill in one more piece of
important history.

I had a go at tidying up the abstract (although Google Translate did a
rather impressive job), for referencing purposes:
(Note also that in the title, it should be 'Optische' without the n).

Lukosz W, Marchand M.
Optische Abbildung unter Überschreitung der beugungsbedingten Auflösungsgrenze.
Opt. Acta, Volume 10, Issue 3, 241-255 (1963). German.

Optical imaging surpassing the diffraction limit.

As is well-known, the resolution that can be achieved with an optical
system (more precisely, the bandwidth of the local frequency band
transmitted by the system) is limited in principle by diffraction. In
this study, a new method for optical imaging, with a resolving power
surpassing the diffraction limit, is described: While the optical
system itself is not modified, a mask with locally variable
transmission (e.g. a grid) is inserted into, or projected onto (or
near) the object plane. This mask must be shiftable across the object
plane. A second such mask is placed in the (intermediate) image plane.
This mask must be shiftable across the image plane. The two masks
enable optically conjugated scanning across the object- and image
field, respectively. During this scanning process, the created image
is integrated over time by a detector of suitable sensitivity (e.g.
eye, film). The result is an image of the object with increased
resolution (i.e. the bandwidth of the locally transmitted frequency
band is increased). The method can be used for coherent, partially
coherent and incoherent illumination of an object. Its mode of action
and imaging properties are described.

While the paper is certainly very theoretical, it actually contains two images from experiments! One is a double slit experiment resolved in the 'SIM imaging' but not resolved in conventional imaging, the other a single slit. While not microscopy, I find it astonishing that they got it to work.
 
There is also an abstract in english at the end of the paper (and a french one):

It is known that diffraction sets an upper limit to the resolving power of an optical
system or, put more precisely, to the band-width of spatial frequencies that the system can
transmit.
A new method is described for obtaining optical images with a resolution exceeding the
limits set by diffraction. The optical system itself is not modified, but a mask, or the image
of a mask formed by projection is introduced in or near to the object plane. This mask
has a variable transmission (for example a grating), and is movable in the object field. A
second similar mask is introduced in or near to the image plane, or the plane of an intermediate
image, and is moved conjugately with the object plane mask. The image obtained
during the scanning by the masks is integrated in time by a receptor of suitable inertia
(for example, the eye, or a photographic emulsion).
There results art image of the object with enhanced resolution and contrast (the bandwidth
of the transmitted spatial frequencies is increased, and the frequency response is
raised).
The method may be used with coherent, partially coherent or incoherent illumination.
Its method of operation and imaging properties are described.
