it's clear that Germany was some way behind the Allies in the field of integrated air defence at the time of the Battle of Britain.
And this was the key to the technically inferior Chain Home systems. They were a part of an integrated system which worked well. The German kit was better, but ineffectively employed. It wasn't until the development of the Kammeraur line they they eventually got their air defence properly organised.
