[GIS] find non-rectified stereo satellite imagery

These probably aren't exactly the droids you're looking for, but the ASTER DEM is constructed using stereographic correlation. Hirano et al describe the process for creating the DEM using stereo pairs.

The only problem with ASTER is that its stereographic capabilities come from specific off-nadir tasked data collection. So unless you want to shell out big bucks, you're going to have to make do with whatever stereo pairs have already been collected.

The availability of ASTER data has also changed over time, I think because its a joint USA/Japan sensor. According to this page, you can get any L1B ASTER data from over the USA for free via the LPDAAC, but L1A and non-USA scenes are only available to certified NASA users through WIST.

I hope that helps!

[GIS] Seeking free DEM and other remote sensing data for Germany

The advantage of satellites is that they cover the entire globe. Sure Europe doesn't have the same data freedom as something sourced from NASA (the USA have the quaint notion that things paid for with public money should be public!), but those NASA satellites do still circle the entire planet.

There are a lot of possible sources of data, some free, some not:
