German radar ship NIOBE in Estonian and Finnish waters 1944
The German radar ship NIOBE arrived in Estonia via Finland in March 1944, and subsequently returned to Finland in July 1944. NIOBE was destroyed in Kotka harbour 16 July 1944 by a massive attack by the Soviet Baltic Fleet Air Force (which mistakenly identified Niobe as the Finnish armored ship Väinämöinen)!
I am interested in the use of Niobe at the Estonian coast, connection to the German fighter control system in Tallinn, possibly assisting NJG 100 to intercept attacking Soviet bombers.
