Re: Need info on what this signals? unit did? 7./Lg.Nachr.Rgt.12
7.(Flugm.)/Luftgau-Nachr.Rgt. 12 was setting up one of the first German radar sites on the Helenenberg near Trier on 20 Sep 39. At the end of Jun 40, the Kompanie transferred to Rennes to begin setting up the Flugmelde organization in Brittany.
So at the time of the raid 10 days later, its radar set was up and operational. I don't know what kind it was, but probably an early Freya. Perhaps our good friend and esteemed member SES will see this and provide additional information. German radar (Funkmeßgerät) is his area of expertise.
