Hi Gents,
Can someone ID this place with that "UBO" (Unidentified Building Object) in background?
Thanks.
Regards,
Franck.

Possibly a prefabricated heated workshop hangar? The Germans made quite a few of them for use in Russia after experiencing the brutal winter of 1941/42.

Thanks Larry, nice try but this is taken early in 1940 and can be an airship hangar view from one end or, better, a gaz tank ... I don't know precisely but I believe one should know among our German fellow members.
Cheers,
Franck.

Thanks Michiel, waiting for that.

Re: Ebay: Fliegerhorst, landing areas, hangars, workshops

Generic ? Generic, generic ... Got it ... I'm afraid it is: one of those "Döberitz type hangar" view from rear ? :)
I'd prefer to be wrong but ...

Re: Ebay: Fliegerhorst, landing areas, hangars, workshops

Hi Michiel,
This is, unfortunately, one of these "generic" hangar built everywhere: Döberitz, Jüterbog-Damm, at least.
Like here: https://me109.info/display.php?a=e&l...JIecnsKgWb68Yo
Left the ground pavement which is quite noticeable
Regards,
Franck.

Hi Michiel,
So: Döberitz, Jüterbog, Tutow ... Thanks anyway, your "generic" word was a precious help.
Regards,
Franck.

Fl.Pl. Matha? Highly dubious.
Most probably Saint Jean d'Angely/Fontenet but it's necessary to check this building.

Not sure if this was a landing area, perhaps Larry can say.

Re: Ebay: Fliegerhorst, landing areas, hangars, workshops

Snautzer to your #234:

The photo is Poland September 1939, the unit Heeres-Nachr.Abt. 53 which belonged to XIII. Armeekorps [ http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/.../XIIIKorps.htm ], and the place is a Storchlandeplatz next to the Korps HQ. In practice, these were just a meadow or farm field that was used by STOL aircraft for courier purposes and for shuttling the Korps Kommandierender General and his staff back and forth to meetings and on inspection trips. Strictly Army - no Luftwaffe involved.
