May take some time. (Till sunday ?)

Hi,
Let's please remember that SEETAKT was not a type of radar, but a function of the radar. The KM distinguised between SEETAKT and SEEART. The SEETAKT was used for sea-surveillance and the SEEART was used for directing artillery. Some types of radars could be used for both purposes. The See-Riese and the Renner family was normally used as SEEART only. The FuMO 1, 2 and 3 were as far as I can tell used as SEETAKT only. The FuMO 4 and 5 was used for both purposes.

In St. Nazaire, there should be some others. I found a picture from a Seetakt. According to the => Kriegsmarine radartypes recognition guide => it looks like a FUMO 2

In the Book Frotresse Saint-Nazaire from Luc Braeuer there are some FUMO marked, but without typ

Hi Ses

There is no other Fu.Mo in the M.K.B.s at
the Baltic Coast , the report starts at Libau
to Kiel .
There only one at Kiel at M.K.B. Erhardt Schmidt
I have no info on the FuMo SeeTakt at the Baltic
Coast .

Hi Jos,

Great job. So it seems that Swinemuende is still to be checked after some more SEEART presence. But I'm afraid that if those had been FuMO 214/215s then we would already know about it.

I still believe the list you have lacks something. There definitely was one W-R at Hela which might have served for the huge MKB "Schleswig-Holstein" battery or for 15 cm MKB "Schlesien" battery (the foundation was placed in the middle of the latter). I know that it wasn't the Luftnachrichten station "Hirsch" - now I can officialy confirm it, although other people think it was.

There is also another "lone" W-R coastal foundation in Poland, assisted by something which fits by dimension to Freya base. It sure wasn't a Luftnachrichten station too - then the Marine was most likely its owner. It is placed near the edge of the cliff by Trzesacz, 45 km West of Kolobrzeg/Kolberg.

It seems me and Czarek are still to penetrate the undiscovered land...

Thank you for this contribution once again.
Regards,
Michal

Hi,
Sorry, but I got to Norway first. Leif if you have difficulties with locations, I'll send scans of maps directly. The source is "German Sea Coast defences".

It seems as if the FuMO 214 has been used extensively as SEETAKT in Norway.
