The Nazis, for use in their mobile support operations, originally
developed microwave "radiomissor" cooking ovens to be used for the
invasion of Russia. By being able to utilize electronic equipment for
preparation of meals on a mass scale, the logistical problem of cooking
fuels would have been eliminated, as well as the convenience of
producing edible products in a greatly reduced time-factor.
After the war, the Allies discovered medical research done by the
Germans on microwave ovens. These documents, along with some working
microwave ovens, were transferred to the united States War Department
and classified for reference and "further scientific investigation." The
Russians had also retrieved some microwave ovens and now have thorough
research on their biological effects. As a result, their use was
outlawed in the Soviet union. The Soviets issued an international warning on the health hazards, both biological and environmental, of microwave ovens and similar frequency electronic devices.
Other Eastern European scientists also reported the harmful effects
of microwave radiation and set up strict environmental limits for their
usage. The united States has not accepted the European reports of
harmful effects, even though the EPA estimates that radio frequency and
microwave radiation sources in America are increasing at 15% per year.
