Bernard received, totally unexpected for him, a present on behave of Dick Zijlmans and me

He was totally surprised by it; which had been planned for some time ago.

It contains a box with 22 CDs made on behave of the Berliner Philharmoniker.

It contains most of the RRG broadcasted concerts - given over the period of 1939 - 1945

What makes it so unique, is, that it has been derived from the genuine tapes of the RRG. These tapes had once been captured by the Russians and brought to Moscow.

Though, returned nearly all in the early 1990s. Albeit, that some tapes still remain in Moscow.

In those days the German RRG was using the best recording facilities in the world.

Not some time after the war ended, the Americans started to introduce (magnetic) tape recordings themselves.

It is certain that Bernard was totally confused

 

 

Bernard is speaking to Dick

Jos is watching.

 

Without words

 

 

Phil is using the seat and table where last week Rudolf Staritz was seated

 

 

Peter in conversation with French guests

 

 

Peter, I suppose, wanted to know detail on the "Pocket Telex" from Raymond

 

 

 Raymond explaining Peter

 

 

Jos searching for information on some equipment used in the Lancaster Bomber

Jos is engaged with a huge comprehensive project in making a full replica of the Lancaster Cockpit including all navigation gear, for many years.

Who else should he approach than Phil?

 

 

The advantage of our exhibition concepts are: that people stay long and this creates the environment for discussions

 

 

Jos is still discussing

 

 

No comment

 

 

Kept behind glass the collection of bugs ( miniature microphones including tiny transmitters) some times build in furniture, bureaus, walls etc.

This room displays various equipment for detecting and destroying those bugs.

No comments

 

 

Unexpectedly, time and again, reading, or at least viewing books, is attracting attention

 

 

The person in front came from France

 

 

Towards closure time, no comments

On 14 January 2020, I received the following e-mail from Marc:  Van Oberman, de zoon van de uitvinder van de Ecolex, kreeg ik een e-mail:  Helemaal links, Paul, rechts daarvan, kleinzoon Oberman, de man rechts met blauwe trui: Maarten Oberman, de zoon van grote Oberman die de Colex en Ecolex I/II heeft uitgevonden (AOB: bedacht).

Thus: from left to right:  Paul,  Oberman's grandson and on the far right Maarten, Oberman's son.

 Oberman was the famous inventor of the Colex and Ecolex I/II coding machines, once employed in NATO communications.

 

 

On the right Frans de Haan

 

 

Time and again, showing that after closure, all Enigmas have been removed
