Ein didaktisch toll aufbereitetes und sehr professionell gestaltetes Museum - und das von ausschließlich ehrenamtlichen Mitarbeitenden! Alle Stationen/begehbaren Räumlichkeiten erklären sowohl die Geschichte des Stützpunktes Distelfink als auch des dortigen Arbeitsablaufes wie auch der Funktionsweise der Radartechnologie anschaulich und leicht verständlich. Wir hatten das Glück an einer Führung (auf Französisch) teilnehmen zu können, welche unser Verständnis noch weiter intensivierte, zum Schluss hat sich das Team noch Zeit genommen auf unsere Fragen einzugehen und über seine aktuelle Forschung zu erzählen. Vielen Dank an Noël, Philippe und Adrien für ihre Zeit!
The museum is an absolute must visit! The exhibition is curated very carefully in a really professional way: You’ll learn about the construction of radar station Distelfink, the actual operation process of a radar station of that era and radar technology itself. We highly recommend the guided tour (which was in French but none the less deepened our understanding) and want to thank Noël, Philippe and Adrien for their time and answering our questions as well as sharing insights in their current research projects!
