LINKS TO SOME WEBSITES THAT COVER 1920-1945 GERMAN RADIOS AND THEIR TECHNOLOGY

	Click here for the authoritative website of the "Foundation for German communication and related technologies (History of Technology)", where Arthur Bauer (PAØAOB) has collected and organized an incredible amount of information on the fascinating (and often superior) German communication and related technologies of the 1930s and 1940s. Arthur's has added a special webpage about his "radio shack" with a Feld-Hell machine, beautiful and excellent German WWII transmitters and receivers, and a description of his involvement with "Hell" since 1975.
	The WW2 radio page of Helge Fyske, LA6NCA, is here; his radio main page is here. The WW2 German radio page of Jan-Martin LA8AK (SK 2005) are here & here.
	WWII Military Radio Technology (kriegsfunker.com): Yuri Desyatnik has devoted his website mostly to military communication technology produced prior to 1946, and focuses on WWII German technology and equipment, including restoration.
	"Crypto Museum" is a virtual museum created by Paul Reuvers and Marc Simons, for capturing and presenting historical cipher machines such as the well-known Enigma machine, spy equipment and the like.
	"Radiomuseum" is a vast virtual radio museum and antique radio catalog. It covers crystal receivers, loop antennas, speakers, rectifiers, Hi-Fi amplifiers, record players, tape recorders, microphones, Old Time amateur gear, "boat anchors", tubes/valves, schematics, etc. The organization has thousands of members and the home page is here.
	"Berichte zur Panzerfunktechnik" ["Reports on radio equipment using in German tanks / armored vehicles"], articles by Max Schindler (DL9HZH).
