I would appreciate comments and help to find the missing names of the sites depicted. Additionally I would like any comment anyone can furnish on the jamming activity conducted by the Kriegsmarine against allied aircraft. There are numerous reports from allied crew encountering jamming of GEE, ASV and H2S in Danish waters and the Western Baltic and the stations depicted were involved in this jamming effort. The station would identify the victim, measure the signal parameters and pass this on to the FuMS Stellung (Jamming Site).

See for instance:

Brooks: Hirschfeld, The Story of a U-boat NCO 1935-1945 (Pen & Sword, Cassells Military and USNIP). In the outward voyage of U-234 from Kiel to Norway along the Danish coast in March 1945, Oberfunkmeister Hirschfeld described how the beam from a "second radar" set installed aboard by scientific passenger was aimed at Allied aircraft upon their approach. They would then turn away at 3300 metres and not pursue their attack. Hirschfeld said that this happened on at least three occasions and so was not a fluke.

Also see:

Schaeffer: U-977. Schaeffer stated that during his brreakout from Kiel for Norway in March 1945, he knew he would be safe "anywhere along the Danish coast". He did not elaborate on what he meant.
