| (1) If you study the above map carefully you'll come across a system called FuMB E or F. This was a system intended to intercept and track the Rebecca interrogator. Throughout most of the war the allies flew supply drop missions to the resistance movement in the occupied countries. From a navigational point of view this was mildly put a challenge. The average RAF BC crew could hardly navigate to a major German town - hence all the nav-aids and the PFF - now they were tasked to fly for maybe 4 hours and find a specific field in a country with complete black-out. The Special Operations Executive had the Eureka/Rebecca system designed to solve this problem. EW - Eureka-Rebecca . The system consisted of a beacon on the ground (Eureka) positioned in proximity of the drop zone. The Rebecca would interrogate the Eureka, which would transmit response pulses, allowing the crew to home on the signal. For good reasons the German were keen to track Rebecca transmitting aircraft, as this could give a fairly good idea of the location of the drop-zone. Due to line of sight problems it was not possible to locate the Eureka beacon. | ||||

The Karl 2 Stelle in LIBELLE. The presence of the Karl jammer in Norway is a minor mystery. The Karl jammed Oboe, and even at 35.000 ft an aircraft would be below the radar horizon of a site in the UK. |
