Re: Luftwaffe Radar in North Africa
All - I have followed this discussion with interest ever since I came across a report on material ferried to Tunisia that listed 42 radars as having been delivered! Sounds like there was quite an integrated air defense system for the Luftwaffe, of a sorts, in place in Tunisia during the campaign.

Re: Luftwaffe Radar in North Africa
I now have some info from HW5 that Freya and Wuerzburg apparatus arrived at Bari by 6 Dec 41, but could not be sent on by air without dismantling, and no technician was on hand to do this.
All the best Andreas

Re: Luftwaffe Radar in North Africa
Hi guys
Whilst on the subject of German radar, may I enquire what units were based in Greece, Crete and the Aegean 1943-45? Here's hoping Brian |

Re: Luftwaffe Radar in North Africa
Hi Brian,
Unfortunately I don't know the name of the units, but here are most locations: http://www.gyges.dk/Flum%20Med%208.pdf and http://www.gyges.dk/Flum%20SE%205.pdf and http://www.gyges.dk/Jag%20Leit%20Med%205.pdf and http://www.gyges.dk/Jag%20Leit%20SE%204.pdf bregds SES |

Re: Luftwaffe Radar in North Africa
And on 23 Jan 42 I have an ULTRA intercept stating the Germans intended to place 3x Freya on Crete and 1x ea on Scarpanto and Rhodes.
That would have been a nice early warning system for raids on Athens and Patras. All the best Andreas

Re: Luftwaffe Radar in North Africa
Hello Andreas,
Came across this thread again and saw my (unfullfilled) promise to scan the KTB XII.Fliegerkorps pages about the 'Einsatz' of Ln.Abt. in North-Africa. Will do my very best to send these scans, it has somehow escaped my attention, sorry for that! I made a reminder and take this at home now. Till soon, all the best, Marcel
