German Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine Radar Equipment during World War II, relied on an increasingly diverse array of communications, IFF and RDF equipment for its function. Most of this equipment received the generic prefix FuG (German: Funkgerät), meaning "radio equipment".
Radar in World War II greatly influenced many important aspects of the conflict. [1] This revolutionary new technology of radio-based detection and tracking was used by both the Allies and Axis powers in World War II , which had evolved independently in a number of nations during the mid 1930s.

The low-UHF band Würzburg radar was the primary ground-based tracking radar for the Wehrmacht's Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine (German Navy) during World War II. Initial development took place before the war and the apparatus entered service in 1940. Eventually, over 4,000 Würzburgs of various models were produced.
Freya was an early warning radar deployed by Germany during World War II; it was named after the Norse goddess Freyja. During the war, over a thousand stations were built. A naval version operating on a slightly different wavelength was also developed as the Seetakt.

The FuMG 41/42 Mammut was a long-range, phased array, early warning radar built by Germany in the latter days of World War II. Developed by the GEMA company, it consisted of six or eight Freya antenna arrays, switched together and coupled to two Freya devices. The arrays were fixed and the beam could be electronically steered on a 100° arc in ...
Seetakt was a shipborne radar developed in the 1930s and used by the German Navy (Kriegsmarine) during World War II. It is the first naval radar to enter service, and among the earliest radars of any sort. It provided range measurements with an accuracy on the order of 50 metres (160 ft), more than enough for gunnery.
FuG 224 Berlin A, and the contemporary FuG 240 Berlin N1 or Nachtjagd air interception radar, [1] [2] both made use of captured examples of the British cavity magnetron in the H2S radar. A H2S-equipped Short Stirling bomber had crashed near Rotterdam on the night of 2 February 1943. [3] This led to H2S being given the German codename Rotterdam ...
