Seeburg plotting table The Seeburg plotting table (German: Seeburg-Tisch) was a mechanical plotting table used by the Luftwaffe in their operations rooms to track aircraft and coordinate night fighter operations. It was produced by Siemens and attached to the plotting table was a Freya radar and two Würzburg-Riese radars. Freya radar would pick up and track the bombing raids and an attached Würzburg radar would then select an individual bomber and track it. The other Würzburg would track the night fighter that was sent out to find and attack the bombers. This plotting was done on a large, translucent glass plate. The radar position of both enemy bombers and the friendly night fighters were displayed on the table as moving spots of light. The enemy was displayed with a red spot and a blue spot represented the night fighter.
