Abstract

The FuG 200 Hohentwiel was the principal airborne maritime reconnaissance radar used by the German Luftwaffe between 1943 and 1945. The radar was manufactured on a large scale, at up to 150 per month, and was continuously developed during the later war years. It was used on maritime reconnaissance and anti-shipping aircraft, including the Ju 88, Ju 188, Fw 200, He 111, Do 217, and Ju 290. The design and operation of the radar is described, drawing on original user handbooks and intelligence reports.
