Post WW2 EW Evaluation Exercises

[Yellow Sun]

Some time ago I read a book that described a series of exercises held shortly after the cessation of hostilities in Europe to evaluate the effectiveness of Bomber Command EW tactics. A small number of intact German SOCs/CRCs were manned by Luftwaffe operators and observed by allied personnel as they plotted the progress of the "raids" whilst various types and levels of jamming were employed.

Unfortunately I cannot recall the title of the book and searching and "Googling" has so far yielded no clues. Can anyone help?

Exercise "Post Mortem", from 25th June to 7th July 1945.

The night fighter control room at Grove in Denmark was used as most of the radar network in Denmark remained largely intact after the cessation of hostilities.
