Right after the occupation of France the Reichpost-Zentralamtes (RPZ) established a number of FuMB sites on The
Channel Coast. A central Beobachtungs- und Auswertestelle was established near Calais. The sites were equipped with receivers, which covered the frequencies from 75 - 300 Mhz. The task of this organization was to follow the development of
radar in the UK, so it was more strategic and operational rather than tactical in nature. In the years up to 1943 the number of sites expanded, and the initial makeshift organization was subordinated to Lft.2. and absorbed in Ln-Rgt.3.
Central direction was conducted the by the Funkleitstand des ObdL organized in 7/Ln-Rgt. ObdL. Over time the function of the organization became of a more operational nature, tasked with collection against the allied air forces in order to
establish AOBs and operating patterns. This organization was thus able to detect and follow the Bomber Stream based on it's emissions, but this information was not passed on in near real time to the JDs, much to the dismay of the commanders. The
first equipment employed was given the covername Windmess Stelle (WIM) and the designation FuMB a - h. It is interesting that some of this equipment was operational in Norway in 1945. |

As part of an
all encompassing re-organization of the Flugmeldedienst, Ln-Rgt. Reich was
established in OCT 1944 as depicted. This organization was
responsible for intercept of electronic emissions in all frequency bands,
with all modulations and signal formats, exploitation and jamming. |

When manning a Stelle these units were employed in the smallest organizational entity : a Trup.
Elements - maybe the entire Kp. - from the following units have been identified in Denmark. This list is definitely not all exhaustive. In the source I'm working from, only the name of the Stelle is mentioned in most cases: |
