Feldjäger is a combined revolving light / 2 tones horn ; it was built in 1986, at the time of the cold war, by In. Weidelt GmbH at the request of the German armed forces. The objective was to be able to, in case of war, convert quickly an unmarked car into military police cars.

is it true that there was a light siren set up at one time that had so much Torque that the light stood still and the car spun around in circles??

View video in YouTube. Another video shows a guy unpacking one from a wood crate. Those white marshmallow feet are plastic fasteners. In the kit is a template and a punch tool to knock holes in the roof. Comes with a large decal. German language? Cool set up

The German Military Police (Feldjäger) had privatly owned vehicles on contracts that they put into service very quickly.
They got these siren-lights out from stock complete with mounting template and Feltjäger decals.
They put the template on the roof in an acceptable place and punched three holes through the roof.
Then they routed the three long threaded studs through and screwed on the three large white plastic ”nuts” on to secure the siren-light.
The cable with the control box was routed through the door or window and the box placed somewhere convenient and the power cable was connected to the power by a cigarette lighter plug.
The Feldjäger decals was placed on the vehicle and it was now a police car ready to go.

By the way, I have one of these as well but unfortunately the person that packed it up somewhere, either in the factory or in some military stock facility, had wrapped it up to tightly so both of the cable grommets for the horns and one of the Hella switches had broke when I unpacked the siren-light.
The cable grommets are of an old type with different thread than used today and the Hella switch is also out of production.
I have replaced the switch with one made by RS that look quite close to the Hella.
Of some reason Hella use the same part number as on this switch for a completely different design today.
I got a replacement from the selling company but of the contemporary type that do not fit.
Sooner or later I will find the right parts.
