Dr Plendl and the other German signals people must have had a blind spot when they chose the frequencies for Y-Gerat. Nicely in band for the most powerful TX in Europe hence an easy target for jamming.
Before Y-Gerat our scientists and engineers had already countered Knickebein and X-Gerat. These were technically simpler systems. On our side we had Gee and Oboe as aids to finding bombing targets. Again I recommend Jones' book for a good overview of radio navigation and much else to do with science in WW2.
