Mystery antenna.

Hello Ses

The other Phrase "Wa. Prü. 7" is the Nachrichtenabteilung of the Waffen Prüfung, the purpose of this unit was to development and testing of ordnance equipment for all arms and services .
So maybe a testing unit in the fields ????

Hi Jos,
Thank you. I looked for that section and I did suspect that was the case. Thanks for the identification. The pictures could be of a field trial of a system, which was only built in one sample, since it is not covered in the classic literature on the subject.

Hi
Not too long ago I promised that I would not answer a post or ask a question without checking date, time and Trenkle. But I have to learn that lesson a couple of times. The system is indeed a RV system for the Heer. Please see the attached (extract from Trenkle "Die deutschen Funknachrichtenanlagen bis 1945, Band 2 "Der Zweite Weltkrieg" ") and sorry for having wasted your time. But at least we got the pictures published and I think we all learned a little.

Hi Jos,
Thank you, but I was so embarrassed, that I did not check my sources.

Many of the units participating in Weserübnung carried the suffix zbV, not because they were "special" but because the were part of a task force. Hopefully our German friends can enlighten us on this issue.

Hello SES,

literally z.b.V. means "zur besonderen Verfügung/for special use". As you correctly stated not in the sense of "special forces" but rather meaning "out of the ordinary structures". Often used as a reserve contingent or a mixed detail given a very specific task.
Sometimes you find additional info on who is allowed to employ the unit (e.g. z.b.V. Major Schmidt).
