I fully expected this was the case, but always intrigued on how it was accomplished.

I have some mp3s of the BBC bcasts with German jamming efforts included. German counter espionage units had some neat gear to df la resistance as they often had traffic for London and no means to get it there in time save via radio, the abwehr were sadly sometimes successful in detecting and locating partisans.
