Re: "Dueppel" = ?

From Wikipedia:

Düppel can refer to:
  • The German name for Dybbĝl, a town in Denmark famed for an 1864 battle
  • Berlin-Düppel (named after the battlefield mentioned above)
  • Düppel Forest, a forest in south of Berlin
  • Chaff (radar countermeasure)

Several German electronic devices seem to have used place names (Lichtenstein, Hohentwiel, Kehl, Rotterdam-Gerät) so I suppose it does relate to one of the above places.
