Talk:Freya radar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Could Freya (the Norse goddess) see 100 miles by day or night?--Light current 03:32, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

According to R.V. Jones in Most Secret War that was actually Heimdall, although the Norse mythology reference did lead to the supposition by the British early in the war that Freya-Gerät was the name for a portable RDF set.
They thought the name Heimdall itself, although the most apt, was too-obvious-a-choice from the security aspect to have been used for a German radar system. Ian Dunster 16:28, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
