Re: Location FF and LF Truthahn May 1944?
Hello Michaël,
Not quite if I may say so: your magnificent map shows the general location of Truthahn, whereas I tried to explain that Truthahn belonged to the Funkmess-Stellungen in the former searchlight belt. This category of stations were split in two locations:
1) the Gerätestellung in front of the old searchlight belt: 2 Würzburg-Riesen, 1 Freya and later 2 Y-towers. The data was transmitted over wired landlines to
2) the Auswertestellung, 10-12 km backwards in the former searchlight belt: T-Hut, barracks for a cantine and resting quarters, radio masts and a vertical shining searchlight as visual beacon.
Dutch examples: 4B (later Fox), 4C (later Kröte), 4D (dissolved), 5B (later Bazi) and 5C (later Truthahn)
In all other, 'isolated' Seeburg-Lichtenstein Stellungen like Salzhering, Tiger, Gorilla, Marder, Bisam, Zander etc. the radars and T-Hut were combined in one compound.
All the best, Marcel
