RE: when Goering realised that Britain had won the radar/radio war ...

The Germans were fighting the allied forces at a machinery rate of 200 to 1.
When the Germans had one plane up against 200 American and British planes,not to mention tanks and ships,those odds are difficult to overcome.They were lacking raw materials but they had technology that was the world's best at that time.Thank God we drop tons of artillery on them or they would have developed the atomic and hydrogen bombs first.
Anyway,those radios are excellent performers.I'm sure his antenna system is first rate but any WW2 radio that worked like that one did is incredible.I looked at the engineering just in the bandswitch and it's second to none.The Collins R390 and Hammarlund SP600 and Racal RA-17 rival it, but keep in mind they came out 10 years later.
