Maps on German Radar and Raid Reporting and Control System.

[JDCAVE]

I wish to obtain PDF's or JPG's of maps of German Radar and Raid Reporting and Control System. I have the documents for "Grove" as part of the "Exercise Post Mortem" files I have, but would like to obtain topo maps of the Late War (Autumn 1944-April 1945) stations.

Thank you. The map in your post is interesting, however the others in that thread are for earlier in the war and many of those sites in the south would be overtaken by the Allies. Most of the approaches that dad took into Germany were through France so I'm looking specifically for Radar positions on the German side of the battle line.

Thanks. I've been through that site and not found the details I want. What I'm after are topo maps that provide coordinates, for plotting on Google maps.

Plotting will be a problem. Aprox location is difficult enough.
Seem to remember a book or site specialized but it didnt come to me yet. And then only the big sites i believe.

I have been in touch with Tom Withington, who did his PhD on Radio Countermeasures in BC. He said he has some material but expressed frustration at the lack of good information on this topic. Like myself he searched for month-to-month distributions of fighter bases, radar and control centers and I get the impression he was dissatisfied with what he found.
