    Remote German Weather Stations

    I read that the Germans had several secret weather stations in various remote parts of the world (the last such outpost surrendered in September 1945 to Norweigen troops!)

    What type of units would man these outposts? Heer? KM? Luftwaffe?

    If anybody has any photos of such installations, please share them!

    Thanks - Mike

    Not many weeks ago came document in TV about Weather station located in Bear Island located in Barents Sea.It was manned with about 10men and only their leader was soldier/officer,rest of the crew were scientists.They had full army gear with them,rifles and uniforms.But document told that they did not use those army clothes at all.I believe it was BBC made documentary.

    Here is link for some pictures from Svalbard(Spitzbergen) weather station:
