It was in use in the Mediterranean in the Summer of 1942.

Re: Lichtenstein-Gerät at sea
Thank you, Nick!
As Lichtenstein was using by Erprobung Kommando at Black Sea half year later, maybe it means that new modification was testing? Maybe FuG212 Lichtenstein C1? Best regards, Andrey |

Re: Lichtenstein-Gerät at sea
Nick, do you know, where Lichtenstein planes were used in 1942 - in MGK Sued area (East Mediterranean) or in the West Mediterranean or everywhere?
P.S. I know that "sea Lichtenstein" had the designation "Lichtenstein S" but that is the FuG number? Also, its range and other technical characteristics are interesting. Best regards, Andrey Last edited by Andrey Kuznetsov; 20th April 2019 at 23:11. Reason: Addition |

Re: Lichtenstein-Gerät at sea
If possible, a few more question.
In Soviet review of captured German airborn radars (1946) the anti-ship "Lichtenstein S" is mentioned but only as predcessor of "Lichtenstein SN2". Whether the "Lichtenstein S" had some modifications or in 1942 and 1943 it was the same radar? What unit(s) had "Lichtenstein" in Mediterraneanand whter it was anti-ship radar or radar for the night air intercept? Best regards, Andrey |

Re: Lichtenstein-Gerät at sea
A quote from the article about Kommando Koch:
Someone in RAF Intelligence pencilled a laconic assessment against this passage: ”Major Koch shoots a bit of a line.” "shoots a bit of a line" - is it an ironic idiome? Best regards, Andrey |

RAF slang for exaggerates, overstates his achievements, fantasises.
