Electronic Combat Over the Third Reich

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors governing the effectiveness of American and British electronic combat operations during the World War II bombing campaign against Germany. The study examines the characteristics and effectiveness of the Allied bombers and jammers, and the German flak, fighters, and electronic order of battle. The study concludes that the Germans could work around the Allied electronic combat efforts if enough elements of the defensive network were not decisively countered. (RRH)
