Historical Application: The offered set represents authentic German shipboard radars which, during World War II, formed a crucial part of the equipment for ships such as Bismarck-class battleships, cruisers, and destroyers. Radar elements, particularly the FuMO 21, FuMO 24, and FuMO 26 radar stations, were mounted on bridges or masts and enabled the detection of enemy units, increasing the effectiveness of the German fleet. These radars were introduced gradually from 1941 until the end of hostilities in 1945.
