Re: Need info on what this signals? unit did? 7./Lg.Nachr.Rgt.12
Hi
I have now info on this particular event, only the following general description. At the outbreak of WW II Germany had set up a chain of seven radar sites equipped with the early version of the Freya (125 Mhz, 120 km range). It was operated partly by the Luftwaffe and partly by the Kriegsmarine. It gave complete radar coverage at Germany's western border at medium altitude from the French/German to the Danish/German border. The procedures for day fighter employment was very makeshift, but a number of spectacular results were actually achieved in the first few month of the war. This can partly be attributed to the British lack of knowledge of existence of German radars. Please see: http://www.gyges.dk/german_day_fighter_control.htm and http://www.gyges.dk/Himmelbett.htm Hope this adds a little. bregds SES |
