While the microwave aircraft sets were pretty much useless for the very 
reason you give, there were some prototype ground radars that were (or 
rather, could have been) of use. Still, from 1944 on, VHF radars for air 
search were probably far more valuable to the Germans than microwave sets.

I suppose the Germans have been accused of trying to get out new 
technologies at the end of the war - "wonder weapons" and such - but then 
so did the Americans. I suppose we could afford  them.
