With increasing interest in the history of World War Two, so many intriguing stories are now coming to light. One is how Nazi Germany’s spies failed to discover any worthwhile information about our radar systems – even sending a Zeppelin airship to travel up and down the east coast just four weeks before war was declared, to try and find out what the large steel transmitter masts were doing. This talk is a fascinating insight into spies and spying and how so much effort was directed at the radar stations which played such a vital role in the Battle of Britain.
