Looking at these three photos brings a thought to my mind: since much of 
the liason and inter-plane communications took place at HF, at least early 
on, is anyone aware of stories that hams here in the U.S. or the U.K. 
routinely, or otherwise, listened to some of that?

I remember reading that at least in one case, some ham in the northeast 
heard German North African communications that took place around 10 
meters, notified the FBI, and they set up a receiving center for that...unless 
that story is all apocryphal

I wonder if something similar ever took place concerning HF communications 
from other WWII locations?
