I felt initially that "poor us", so stuck with conventional 1930s tech, in second place. But then i thought about the ART-13 10 channel Autotune ( automatic retuning ) aircraft transmitter ( dating to 1939 ), the BC-348 aircraft receiver, the BC-1000 FM backpack radio, microwave radar, High Frequency direction finding with CRT display, radar jamming equipment, proximity fuse anti aircraft shells, and so on, PLUS early models of computer to decipher German codes. German workmanship is impressive,but...at some point you have to do a cost - benefit analysis and realize a whole lot of wonderfully mechanically engineered stuff is bound to have a rather short service life...
