Naval News School

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Naval intelligence schools were military schools of the Reichsmarine and the Kriegsmarine , which trained guests in telecommunications, telecommunications and positioning .

history

When the Wehrmacht was rearming , several communication schools with teaching and experimental units were set up. In March 1934 the naval station of the Baltic Sea ordered the separation of the torpedo and news school in Mürwik . Both schools received new buildings. More naval intelligence schools were founded.

For the army and the air force , the Army and Air Force Intelligence School was established in Halle (Saale) in 1935 , in what is now the Heide-Süd district . A second army intelligence school was set up in Glatz .

Naval Communication School locations

Flensburg-Mürwik

The buildings of the news school (later also the naval news school) in Flensburg-Mürwik, which were built in the 1930s, were taken over in 1956 by the naval telecommunications school , which was dissolved in 2002. The Bundeswehr School for Strategic Reconnaissance moved into the building.

Aurich

With the exception of 300 members of the Austrian Legion , Aurich initially housed no soldiers in the German Reich from 1933 to 1945 . After the city had tried several times in vain to station units with the army and air force, the navy decided on Aurich as the location of the first additional intelligence school. The city took over all development costs . The school opened on October 1, 1938 and grew to ten companies by 1943 .

Were

After several relocations and amalgamation of individual companies from Plön, Kiel and Flensburg, the naval communications school in Waren (Müritz) was established on June 26, 1941. The soldiers of the optical signaling service and the new radio telex service were trained. 1,800 signal guests completed the course every quarter. The courses for Freya (radar) and Würzburg (radar) were strictly shielded . Experiences and wishes of the fleet had to be reported directly to MNS Waren.

Rantum

1937 was Rantumbecken for a Seefliegerhorst the Air Force eingedeicht Service. Another naval news school moved into the (unused) building on November 18, 1943. From April 1944, it trained 1,500 radio guests per quarter.
