German Radar (RDF) set near Salerno - 10 Sep 43

[Tom from Cornwall]

Hi,

This photo (NA 6788) has been published on the Imperial War Museum web site. Can anyone identify the type of radar set? Or indeed whether that is actually a German Radar set at all.

Regards

Tom

It is not a radar at all. It is the central part of an analog german E4m Kdo Ger 36 fire director.

Chris,
Thanks for the information. Was that a Flak fire director or coastal artillery? Regards

Hi Tom,
typicaly an older Flak fire director. The successor was the Kdo.Ger. 40.
