# German Luftwaffe Officially Founded

> Nazi Germany publicly unveiled its forbidden air force in violation of Versailles, signaling aggressive rearmament and future aerial dominance.

## Summary

German Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine Radar Equipment during World War II, relied on an increasingly diverse array of communications, IFF and RDF equipment for its function. Most of this equipment received the generic prefix FuG, meaning "radio equipment". During the war, Germany renumbered their radars. From using the year of introduction as their number, they moved to a different numbering scheme.
