Horchgerät

[LA6NCA]

Hello all.
I have created a new internet page abote Horchgerät
I get questions from a broadcaster about Horchgerät.
How were these used?
How was the communication in these units?
Is there anything I can write on the page?
Can you see on the page and get me some information?

Two of these acoustic direction finders turned up in a Normany scrapyard recently, beautifully constructed out of aluminium and covered in felt on the outside. Unfortunately they were just the acoustic parts, the mountings etc. were missing.

It goes to show that these rather outdated pieces of equipment continued in use throughout the war.

regards,

LA6NCA,

The official name for those were Ringtrichter-Richtungshörer (RRH). We had them too here during the WW2, they moved them around in the coastal area with trailers to avoid detection. Look here for those trailers.
