"GEMA: Birthplace of German Radar and Sonar is essential reading for historians of 20th century science and technology, industrial and military historians. Scientists, engineers and general readers interested in the history of radar and sonar will also find the book has much to offer."--Jacket.
"This book tells the fascinating story of how German radar and sonar was developed in the years leading up to and through World War II. Harry von Kroge has devoted decades to collecting a mass of statements and widely scattered documentary material about the evolution of GEMA's sonar and radar. The book provides much previosly unavailable material and insights into the difficulties encountered on the way to the first promising results in target detection and ranging without optical visibility. The reader will find rare technical descriptions as well as information about industrial and scientific cooperation involving secret equipment in Germany before 1945."
