The 2014 film "The Monuments Men" follows a group from the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives program that was given the task of finding and saving pieces of art and other culturally important items before Nazis destroy or steal them, during World War II.
But more important for the war effort was the work of the Enemy Equipment Intelligence Service which was responsible for the collection and examination of enemy materiel for new ideas and techniques that might benefit the Allies. Whenever an enemy object came into American hands it was examined by the E.E.I.S , and if it embodied features that could be useful to the U.S. war effort, it was shipped to the United States for more detailed analysis and possible use in improving our own equipment.
In this presentation, Brian Harrison, KN4R, takes look at the work of the E.E.I.S during World War II, with a focus on radios captured and marked with unique EEIS numbers and shipped to the U.S. for further evaluation and writeup.
