Sinking
A 1941 RAF PRU photograph of the two Freyas at Auderville
According to the 1977 BBC TV series The Secret War,
[1] the sinking of the Delight was reported back to Germany using the
Enigma code which was then intercepted by the
RAF Y Service and then decoded and read at
Bletchley Park, revealing that Delight had been sunk with the aid of something called 'Freya' - this was the first mention the British had had of any German radar - the
Freya system. The Freya station involved in the sinking was at Auderville and the actual Freyas used are pictured in the RAF PRU photograph at right.— Preceding
