A real odd-ball Stellung.
A real odd-ball Stellung.
Hi,
Came across this picture this morning. It must be from a Flum.-Stellung notice the W-R is equipped with a Kuh FuG 25 interrogator, but the 150 cm searchlight in the foreground is odd and so is the entire setting in a hot climate in a field camp with tents. Has anyone got a bright idea as to the location? Africa or Southern Russia?

Du hast keine ausreichende Berechtigung, um die Dateianhänge dieses Beitrags anzusehen.
For me it´s a typical part of northern Germany: Gras in the foreground, flat countryside, an avenue with (probably) appel trees in the background. This can be anywhere between the Dutch border and east Prussia, for instance in Münsterland, Magdeburger Börde, Leipziger Bucht, Neumark, Elbing/Pomosinien.
And even in Münsterland: Hot summers are possible.

A Himmelbett-Stellung?
Hi SES,
your hint is very important. What about the possibility of a woodden shelter for a part of the Himmelbett-Stellung.
In the case it should be a Himmelbett-Station, we just have to localise the post in the corresponding parts of Europe...
One question from my side: wherefrom do you know that this picture was taken in a Himmelbett-Stellung.
Brgds, Eric

WR in 2./ s. Flak-Abt. 134 in Bottrop-Grafenwald
Hi SES
In addition to the following part of your message:
2. Batterie / s. Flak-Abt. 134 in Bottrop-Grafenwald was equipped not just with a Würzburg TD but from August 1942 also with a Würzburg Riese FuSE 65.
Source for this information: Ludger Tewes, Jugend im Krieg, Von Luftwaffenhelfern und Soldaten 1939-1945, Essen 1989.
In the book you can find some amazing pictures...

In addition to the following part of your message:
and to broaden our horizons:The W-R was only used for nightfighter control and in a few rare instances for heavy Flak batteries in Flak towers.
