V/KG40 Lorient airbase
 
Myself and some friends have been discussing this airbase with the view to producing Lorient airbase for CFS3 (yes the old sim is still plugging along). We have a plan of the site, but our question is that with the Allies attacking it from late 1943 through to D-day, how badly affected was the base. From Chris Goss' Bloody Biscay we gather that the Gruppe was still using it as a functioning base in March '44. I can find very little information on the operating of the actual base, I have not found any images of it on the web or in the literature I have looked at yet. Essentially by '44 was it a bombed wreak or were most of the infrastructure still in working order?
