Re: German & Allied radar
According to Aders the first German radar kill was completed by Oblt Ludwig Becker, in a Do 215B-5, on 10 August 1941. The a/c carried a prototype Lichtenstein B/C (FuG 202) radar. This radar was initially not to be produced in quantity, since the FuG 212, the production version of the FuG 202, was supposed to be ready for production in Spring 1942. In fact, through company screw-ups, the set wasn't ready for production until mid-1943, and in fact, the FuG 202 was put into production, and produced until 1944.
