FUNCTIONS OF TEST STATION (E-STELLE) |
The function of E-Stelle, Section E-7 (Mines) was mainly the testing of aircraft mines. However, this group was also responsible for the coordination of development work being carried on by various outside agencies and for some independent development work. (E-Stelle differed from SVK in that practically all of the former's research development, and drafting work was done by outside agencies which consisted mainly of private manufact-uring firms). |
