Thank You
Question on radar terminology
Re: Question on radar terminology
Air Warning Plotting and Notification Platoon.
This was a Zug (platoon) that operated a plotting center where incoming reports of hostile aircraft were evaluated, plotted and the warning notification sent out to cities, towns, industrial and military installations that were suspected targets.

Re: Question on radar terminology
Thanks Latty, you put some light in the darkness.
Two more questions:
Were these platoons passive structures, which only elaborated data, or could them operate a radar?
Were they a part of the chain which controlled the A.A.A. and the fighters or were they part of a parallel chain involved in minor duties, such as passive antiaaircraft protection?

Re: Question on radar terminology
Passive - they did not operate the radar.Were these platoons passive structures, which only elaborated data, or could them operate a radar?
I am 90% sure they could be used for both purposes, but were mostly used in the structure that controlled the Flak and the fighters.Were they a part of the chain which controlled the A.A.A. and the fighters or were they part of a parallel chain involved in minor duties, such as passive antiaircraft protection?
