Dear all,

Who can tell me where the FF (Radio Beacon) Barbel was located in France in July 1944?

Cheers, Theo

Thanks for these details René, but I'm looking specifically for a FF Barbel in this case. I would expect it to be somewhere in the Chartres-Orléans area but cant find any further info on this FF ..

Cheers, Theo

Hi Theo,
Allied intel did not have a beacon with that name, nor a beacon at that location.

Hi

the only one which seems similar to Barbel we have in our database is "Barbara in Bar le Duc N/O France.

regards


Bärbel is the shortform from Barbara but i think here it doesnt matter .
