Location of Funkfeuer Rosemarie, 30-31.3.44?

Dear all,

Who can tell me the location of Funkfeuer Rosemarie? This radio beacon was used as a gathering point for Nachtjäger of NJG1 and 4 based in the Low Countries in the early stages of the 30-31 March 1944 Nürnberg raid, prior to being sent to FF Ida.

Thanks for any pointers, Theo

There is a map here, which shows beacons:

There is also a link to the "Beacon Bible" , which has co-ordinates and dates:

Yes, there are listed an Ida , Marie and a Rosa but not a Rosemarie.

The site https://www.gyges.dk/ is most interesting and has an extensive section on night fighter control methods throughout the war. https://www.gyges.dk/Himmelbett.htm
