I’m trying to put together this little list of all the Luftwaffe bunkers carrying the Mammut radar.
The list here beneath is made by searching the web but it is as you see, not that complete. So I am hoping that some of you could help me fill in some of the missing information. And if there are any mistakes in what I have so far, then please notify me on that as well
Here is a small introduction on the data I am collecting. Much of this here below is just theories based on my observations. Any other ideas are welcome
1) I want to know the type of bunker used. Is it L485 type A or B, or is it a SK of some sort? See drawings of the L485 A and B below. We have been around the two types in an earlier thread: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=77954
2) About the cables going from the compensator room to the radar screen. I want to know how many. An example could be (24/24) – (24/24) see picture below. In my theory this means that there are two compensators, one for each deflector. Each cable goes out to two pairs of dipoles making it a total of 96 pairs of dipoles for each side of the Mammut radar screen.
It could also just be (24/24) which is then just one compensator meaning only one deflector (one side of the Mammut screen) is used. This seems to be the case with the marine type Mammut F on the type V143 bunker. I think the compensators are almost identical in these cases.
In case of the scenario with (12/12) - (12/12) cables, I believe that it has as many dipoles as the above but each cable has four pairs of dipoles. The compensator is in this case different from the ones with (24/24) cables. And in all of these bunkers I have seen with (12/12) cables there is an entry for machinery inside the compensator room which makes me think that the compensators in these cases are one large element. I have only seen pictures of leftovers of the (24/24) compensator so the (12/12) one is a mystery..
3) Does it have an entry for machinery inside the compensator room? As above, it seems to be the case with the (12/12) cable compensator..
4) The year of construction for the bunker..
5) What type of mast: It seems that there are at least two types of mast constructions in use for the Mammut - Cäsar. See the pictures below of what I mean. Type 1 looks very box like in structure an the four mast are not as wide as the type 2. So here I want a qualified guess on the type of mast used.
Hope it makes some kind of sense and that the knowledge is out there among you
Best regards
