Dug out in Kurland

Dug out in place of workshops of 14. Panzer Division near Skrunda, Kurland. Seems to be discarded before going to surrender to Soviets in May of 1945.10 W.S.c. is the standard transmitter for German WWII tanks and other armored vehicles. It is a part of the Fu 5 system that also includes the Ukw. E. e receiver. Both the receiver and transmitter have the same frequency scale and control mechanism. There are two click-stop station pre-sets, and an air core capacitor for matching antenna impendence. The MO is of the Hartley variety with a tapped induction coil in the oscillator tank circuit. Very rare to find in such a good condition. Good condition, proper cleaning will reveal more details. Scroll down to see better photos.

In August, after being refitted, it was transferred to Army Group North to the Courland area. The refit included delivery of Panther tanks. In January 1945, the Red Army launched a number of major offensives across the Eastern Front. Much of Army Group North - including the 14th Panzer Division - was bypassed and became trapped in the Courland Pocket, and remained there until Germany's surrender in May 1945. The division was disbanded during the last weeks of the war, with its personnel being formed into two panzer brigades. Parts of the division were evacuated to Germany in the last week of the war and surrendered to the Western Allies while those units remaining surrendered to Soviet forces on 10 May 1945.
