The Germans of course were far too regimental and did not really get their act together until Kammhuber got organised.

Hello Peter,
For reference, the RAF set up the worlds first Filtering Room at Bawdsey Manor in August 1937: it was initially an experiment, but it's value was soon recognised and it continued in use at Bawdsey until moving to Bentley Priory in 1938, by which time there were five CH stations on 24 hour duty.
