German air-radars
I'm looking for all kind of information about German WWII air-radars;
Wurtzburger Riese , Freya and Wassermann.
I have found very litle on the net, only a few pictures.
I'm interested in organisation, equipment, manning, support, tactics, more pictures etc. etc.
Primarily on sites in Norway, but I guess statistics will be the same anywhere.

Hi Hector
I can't help you with anything at the moment, but I can suggest that you can try looking on the internet for the Schiffer Books website, because in their catalogue they have a book that deals with German WW II radars, such as the ones that you have mentioned in your post.
Regards
Bob

Hi,

Do you know anything obout the history of the site?
Hav you checked the position with GPS?
You'll fin a positionlist on http://www.nuav.net , but so far, we don't get them to match exactly. We end up some hundrets meters away......

Hallo!
These photos are still so new, that I havent got time to start researching the various areas......
I don`t have the GPS position, but I have a 100% location on a topografic map. During the last week in September, we visited a lot of coastal batteries and radar sites, including the Knickebein site at Nærbø!

Thank's to all of you for pictures and stuff.
I've found quite a lot about the radars itself, history etc, but I miss information about tactical deployment, closedefence, manning and so on. So I keep on begging; does anyone have anything on this?
One site I'm most interested in - as a starter - is the site at Tonsaasen, Norway. It has the standard deployment of 2 Wb R and 1 Freya.
