EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the 1940s, as the world was engulfed in darkness during wartime, German military forces were making strides in the realm of infrared technology. This photograph, taken by renowned photojournalist G.H. Davis in 1946, showcases the intriguing infra-red equipment used by the German military for enhanced visibility in the dark. The image reveals a collection of German infra-red telescopes and searchlights, their distinctive cats-eye effect illuminating the scene. The German military's success in the development of infrared technology was a closely guarded secret, paralleled only by the Allied forces' own efforts in this field. The technology allowed soldiers to detect and observe their surroundings in the dark, providing a significant tactical advantage. The apparatus, as seen in this photograph, was operated in the field using a combination of power sources, including batteries and generators. The potential applications of this technology extended beyond the battlefield. In the post-war era, infra-red technology found its place in various industries and scientific research. It was used in meteorology for weather forecasting, in astronomy for observing celestial bodies, and in various other fields for non-destructive testing and inspection. This photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the 1940s military technology, a time when the boundaries of what was possible were continually being pushed. The infra-red equipment, with its mysterious cats-eye effect, continues to fascinate and inspire, reminding us of the incredible advancements made during this period.
