| Summary: | join his group as German expert. It is well known that Germany supported naval weather stations at Spitsbergen from 1941 to 1945. Since 1939 data of foreign weather services were no more available to prepare the important forecasts. So the German navy and airforce decided to install their own weather stations in the Arctic at Spitsbergen, Hopen, East Greenland, and Franz-Josefs-Land.
