The Foundation for German Communication and related Technology is a foundation that preserves the history of German technology, more in particular from before and during the Second World War.It's a huge collection of original documents, plans and circuit diagrams about all sorts of technology, ranging from radio equipment, encryption devices, patents, measurements, radar and company history.
I was especially pleased to find detailed documents and images about the G-Schreiber T52d cipher machine, the Kurier system, which is a German type of burst encoder transmission system, and radio equipment from the Abwehr (German secret service). There's an extensive Handbooks section with a wealth of original documents. Don't forget to visit the Archive displays with lots of detailed images of all kinds of equipment.
The diversity on documents and artefacts is far too large to explain here.Visit the Foundation for German Communication website to discover it yourself !

I don't mean to be nitpicking but you've mis-spelled Abwehr as Abwher.. :)
Oeps! Typo corrected ;-) A little dyslexia problem, or is is Syldixia, or Lysdexia...?
I'm quite certain it's Lysdexia .. *giggle* .. it can be a bitch sometimes, though. Imagine what would've happened if whoever it was that wrote the US constitution was dyslexic .. "One nation under Dog..".
It wouldn't be far from the truth nowadays, though ;)
