ELEKTRA / SONNE / CONSOL Navigation system

[j harris]

The German Lorenz company introduced the ELEKTRA system in 1939/40 which then morphed into Sonne and later Consol. Consol lasted virtually unchanged until the 1990's.


Does anyone have access / know where original ELEKTRA maps may be found? The British library has lost its copy of a gnonmetric Sonne chart and I have tried throughout Europe to find an original, but to no avail.


I am trying ideally to find a HUSUM station chart as that was the station used by Rudolf Hess on 10th May 1941.


For detail: Rudolf Hess - A new technical analysis (Spellmount Press).


Many thanks.

JH,

There was a brief 'discussion' on PPRuNe in Feb. - here - and now active again.

But much more expertise seemed to be available via a link provided on the second page - here

Axis History Forum ? Sonne 6 : a new location (http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=205986)

The following two very expert looking sources are translatable - after a fashion. You may already have all this at your fingertips, and you may have the language skills as well.


Elektra-Sonne, FuSAn 700, FuSAn 701, radar, Hargerpolder, Petten (http://archive.today/Fu7p)

Welcome to PPRuNe - both j harris and Carl55.

I used Consol a few times in the early 70s. I remember you had to know how to count.

The Elektra Sonne 4 was at Hussum, Germany, close to the Northsea near the Danish border.
What are you looking for?
I did some research on Elektra Sonne 5, Petten, The Netherlands.

Best regards.

Good morning. Have you come across any charts for Petten? We are looing for Husum charts, but have yet to discover any.
