The WW II Saint-Pabu German Radar Camp-2

Abstract

It is a pleasure to observe that the hope for further studies on the WW II German radar camp of Saint-Pabu (Brittany-FR) formulated in a previous publication has materialized. The Doll's archive provided new documentation from the RAF Operations Rhubarb permitting to reconstruct the first camp activities and giving hints about the daily life of its personnel. The excavation of the L479 Anton for day and night fighter control clarified architectural aspects of its construction and permitted the recuperation and examination of original German military equipments. But, further questions remain open for investigation.

The German Radar Stations at the Pointe Du Raz (FR)

“…The Qu 500 identified components (Figures 4-9) were the following. An L 479 Anton (48˚2'18.24"N, 4˚43'5.86"W, h. 69.16 m) (1) (Appendix Figure A1 and Figure A2) for night-fighter control, similar to those of LA 318 Frosch at Cap Fréhel (Tomezzoli & Moser, 2021), of Re 510 Pinguin at Saint-Pabu-Le Bous (Tomezzoli & Colliou, 2017, 2018 and of Saint-Jacques de la Lande (Dupont et al, 2007). The terrain and vegetation coverage precluded access to the entrances and the interior.…”
