In WW2, British intelligence analysts inferred that a secret Nazi radar system used only a single beam based on its code name: Wotan (Odin), a god with one eye. For a long time, I have occasionally referenced this example, but today I learned that it was actually sheer luck. The prior radar system that used two beams was also codenamed Wotan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Beams#Y-Ger%C3%A... |
