Navigation point 'Cita' during operation Steinbock
 
Good afternoon,

In the work of Ulf Balke on Kampfgeschwader 2 'Der Luftkrieg in Europa, 1941 - 1945' the navigation point of 'Cita' is mentioned on the maps.
Were these 'Navigationshilfen' radio beacons or light beacons? And where was 'Cita' located exactly in the Netherlands?

Thank you,
Timon

Never heard of Cita.
Zita was located near Zutphen, 52.08N 06.08E, Funk/Leuchtfeuer.

Good evening,

Thank you for the replies. I managed to find the 'Beacon Bible' on the website of Gyges. And nice to have an exact location. I already found a video on bunkerinfo.nl, but there were no coordinates on the website.

Regards,
Timon
