German Radar detection & signals jamming in World War 2 (1944-Restored)

- Developed by the Luftwaffe, High Frequency Warfare ("Hochfrequenz Kriegsführung") shows how high frequency signals were used in radio direction finding, signals jamming and radar detection. This is in German, so I added some explanatory text, but I found it pretty easy to follow. An attacking British bomber force is identified, their navigation signals are jammed, and fighters are vectored to intercept. Radar is employed to protect convoys in the Mediterranean, and radar jamming is used to cover the “Channel Dash” of the Battle cruisers Scharnhorst & Gneisenau during their escape from Brest. You'll see a working Luftwaffe air defense control room and contemporary equipment like Lichtenstein airborne radar Most of the participants appear to be non actors playing themselves. There's even a cameo appearance by Generalfeldmarschall Erhard Milch, Air Inspector General of the Luftwaffe. Seeing this film is like having a look inside another world.

this is undoubtedly a video that hitler himself would have been watching.. the enormous aspects of what is being portrayed could leave anyone dumbfounded.. its likely he would not even have understood what he was seeing.. war in those days was so enormous and complex i highly doubt people fully understood what they were doing.. the scope of a single human mind is so small.. unable to fully grasp large things.. i always wonder how a military can manage so many things.. like the land sea and air.. psychological.. mystical.. secret black projects.. one person isnt doing all of this.. its a collected effort.. of people who dont know what theyre doing..
I learned all my German from watching Hogan's Heroes but unfortunately even that was not quite enough for me to follow the dialog. Very interesting film nonetheless.
Neat idea for learning German.
In the first scene (in the bureau), they talk about how they recovered a special map from a shot-down bomber (they mention hyperbolic navigation, so it's probably GEE or Oboe).
The next part shows what looks like an attempt to triangulate the enemy aircraft's position by radio-triangulation.
Later the off-speaker explains how the british "hyberpolic navigation system" (again, likely GEE or Oboe) is being jammed, so that radio-navigation over the Netherlands becomes impossible.
Next part explains the command structure and how night-fighters are guided towards an approaching bomb wing.
You can fool most of the people all the time
All the people most of the time,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
Love the way they show aircraft formations flying while they are just standing on the tarmac , with fog
clouds being blown over them.
There are two very interesting things in here:
7:12 This is the british H2S radar (German code-name was Rotterdam device). That's the first radar system which could produce a map on a screen.
They also clearly say that the German night-fighters home in on the radio signals of the British anti-aircraft radar. This likely refers to the "Monica" radar (ARI 5664). The German system used to home in onto the signals was the Flensburg (FuG 227).
...and it was called Würzburg Radar!
The system being Jammed just after that is GEE.
Everytime you post one of these it makes my day! Thank you for restoring a piece of American history!
It actually is German History, the effort is the same.
@@arnaudmoos8098 To make peace, I'd say it is both German and British history, because they mention various British devices (GEE/OBOE radio navigation, Monica tail-warning radar plus the counter-measure, H2S ground-radar, etc.) and how to counteract/jam them.
You do realise that the whole world fought in that conflict, and not just the good ol' US of A?
Very interesting bit of history. Thanks much.
Google auto captions and translation is amazing. I never knew that "sad lake sardine message donkey" was a good idea.
I really admire the German tech and way of work !
But don't be gay for Hitler though.
Very interesting indeed!
Very Hightech at that time! And very very secret. I wonder how they made this movie?
Too bad no English subs are provided...didn't understand much 🤔
6:30 these re actually no RAF bombers at all, having a single tail fin unlike Halifaxes and Lancasters. They look more like German Focke-Wulf FW200 Condor maritime patrol bombers.
These are absolutly clearly B17 bombers which served in the RAF...Not to mention the RAF GEE indicator type 62A (with the characteristic 2 green lanes) equipment later in the video.

1:46: Herr Radar!
No radar there. They try to find the position of allied aircrafts by listening to them from various positions (triangulation).
At 7:10 there's a radar (the British H2S, German codename 'Rotterdam Device'). That was the first air-to-ground radar.
I find this almost impossible to follow if you don't speak German. YT closed captioning mostly repeats the German dialog.
Were Maxwell's equations seen as too decadent by Hitler?
I don't think it was Maxwells equations themselves that were the problem for Hitler. It was the living scientists who understood them -- many of whom were Jewish or were otherwise opposed to the Nazi regime.
One of the best quotes about the war is attributed to Churchill's military secretary, Sir Ian Jacobs, who explained the allies' victory this way: "OUR German scientists were better than THEIR German scientists."
Had Hitler not been a racist ideologue, Germany might have retained its scientific base and perhaps won the war. But of course, had he NOT been a racist ideologue, he would not have begun the war in the first place.
Great stuff, but self-consciously acted. Thanks for uploading this. A pity my German's not quite up to easily following most of this!
A couple of interesting moments - 1) did no-one else spot the Hitler light bulb for BREMEN at about 5:35 and 5:40 ?
2) - 12:25-12:26! YO! SEXY blonde at the drawing board there! VERY nice! :) ... I wonder what happened to her ....
@@bubiruski8067 aaw try to be a little more positive ..
watched a chicken cross the road it was poultry in motion
Why did the chicken sit on the axe, to hatchet
Funny that they had time to produce an educational video in 1944 when soviet troop was close to taking the capitol
I switched on closed captioning and set the translator to English, and the results are bizarre.
Yep, german is my first language and everytime i watched CC from CZcams i saw it's absolutely crap. Here too.
Most movies the German is horrible I was impressed how good the German was in this flick until i realised its a German Movie!
2:00 "Sägeböcke"? Hab ich das richtig verstanden?
Wird wohl ein codename für große flugzeuge sein.
Zweimotorige flugzeuge wurden an der Ostfront "möbelwagen" genannt
@@dave_sic1365 leider falsch. Sind Zacken auf der Braunschen Röhre, die wie Sägeböcke aussehen
@@theonlymadmac4771 ah danke , ja das gibt sinn.
I could use some of these Germans noses as umbrellas to keep the rain off. derp.
English?
Nein!
Amtssprache ist Deutsch.
