Remains of Teerose II
Teerose is the name of three German radio stations from the Second World War, located northeast of Arnhem in the Dutch province of Gelderland. The stations used a new method, the so-called Y-level method, which enabled the location of its own fighter aircraft to be determined while allowing for the scheduled aircraft (spoken) radio communication.
The habit of the Luftwaffe peilstations was to give a codename with the same initial letter as the location of the station: in this case the hamlet Terlet.
The stations were close to the then Fliegerhorst Deelen and the Diogenes command bunker, on three hills of over one hundred meters high.
The stations were dismantled after the war. To date, their traces, in particular concrete foundations and pedestals, are found in nature. Teerose I, II and III Teerose I This first station was operational from June 1942. It was located on and around 102 meters high Galgenberg at Terlet, on the current float Terlet in the municipality of Arnhem. Originally called Teerose, the addition 'I' got it when Teerose II was built. Teerose II The second station was located in the municipality of Rheden, south of the Rheden and Worth-heathen, near Signaal Imbosch, a 110 meter high hill, the highest point of the Veluwe: 52 ° 2 '13' N, 5 ° 59 '28' OL. 'Teerose III' This is a non-official indication, so it is not an operational statement. TIII was smaller than Teerose I and II, and was also not manned by the Luftwaffe Ln service. Probably it is a test / development site of 'Y-Arnheim' olv. Mr Schaeder and Fricke, where equipment was developed and tested for the new Y system at the time. TIII was located in the municipality of Rozendaal, on the Possenberg, just between T1 and T2, a site at the north eastern point of the Terletse heath. The highest point is here 103 meters.
