Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft

Can anyone comment on what role, if any, Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) had in the production of parts for aircraft and/or aircraft-installed equipment used by the Luftwaffe during WWII?

Thank you,
Steve

Hi Steve,

For one, AEG's Professor Dr. Friedrich Gladenbach, one of the top boffin's of the Reich, came up with the idea of an electro-acoustical radar code-named BALDRIAN.

best regards,

That would be spelled 'Elektrizitaets'.

AEG developed the infra red spanner deployed in a few aircraft together with other companies like Leitz.

A book about dismantlement in the Soviet zone of occupation, compiled by the Landeshauptarchiv Brandenburg in 2007 does list some 17 different AEG establishments in this area alone.

AEG was a very large company with a lot of dependancies and it was almost certainly engaged with a lot of different projects for the Luftwaffe. I guess it would need the work of a doctoral dissertation to identify them all - if this is possible at all...

I appreciate the earlier responses.

Here’s the reason for my inquiry regarding AEG…

These plates indicate that that company made “something” for the Do17Z.

Might 3354 or 3357 connect with Do17Z serial numbers (WNr)?

Here is the history of AEG with key dates. In German.
