Скачать или смотреть RAF Opened A "Window" - German Radar Saw A Blizzard And Went Blind

July 24, 1943. The night sky over Hamburg becomes the testing ground for the most revolutionary deception in aerial warfare history. RAF bombers carry a secret weapon so simple yet devastating that it will blind an entire nation's defense system in minutes: strips of aluminum foil code-named "Window." As Flight Sergeant David Mitchell drops bundles of these metallic strips into the darkness, German radar operators watch in horror as their screens explode with hundreds of phantom contacts. The Würzburg and Freya radar stations—Germany's technological pride—become useless. Night fighters circle aimlessly. Flak batteries fire at ghosts. Hamburg burns with unprecedented fury as the firestorm consumes 40,000 lives. This is the true story of how aluminum strips measuring just 27 centimeters changed the course of World War II, transforming the night sky into an electronic battlefield where the side controlling the invisible spectrum controlled life and death itself. Operation Gomorrah wasn't just a bombing raid—it was the moment radar warfare began, and nothing would ever be the same
