DescriptionWeather Station Kurt.JPG | Weather Station Kurt, officially Wetter-Funkgerät Land-26, a weather station erected by a German U-boat crew in northern Labrador (now part of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada), in 1943. The installation of Weather Station Kurt was the only armed German military operation on land in North America during the Second World War. The station was forgotten for many years until the late 1970s, when a retired Siemens engineer named Franz Selinger who was writing a history, went through Sommermeyer's papers and learned of the station's existence. He contacted Canadian Department of National Defence historian W.A.B. Douglas, who went with a team in 1981 and found the station still largely intact. Weather Station Kurt was brought to Ottawa and is now on display at the Canadian War Museum. |
