Luftwaffe data from ULTRA

[RodM]

Hi SES,


some of the following files from the British National Archives may be of interest to you. These are files that I have noted but have not investigated yet. I should add that there is a whole range of technical files in AIR 40 series, that I haven't noted, dealing with specific radar and radio devices. The last two are listed for the benefit of the board community:
