Historical Description and Application

The FuG 220 Lichtenstein SN-2 radar was introduced into the armament of German night fighters from 1943, significantly increasing the effectiveness of these machines against Allied bombers during night raids over the Third Reich. It was installed, among others, on the Bf 110, Ju 88, He 219, and Ta 154.
