Film of the melting of the Luftwaffe planes left in France in 1944/45
 

Bonjour à tous,

A small film showing the "Entrepôt de l'Armée de l'Air" (french air force depot) which was in Nanterre near Paris. During the war this place was managed by the Luftwaffe and after august 1944 by the french. All the the wrecks of the crashed (or captured) planes where taken to this depot to be scrapped and the light metal melted.

Excellent but only one partial Werk Nummer that I spotted: a tall-tail Bf 109, possibly 413516 (with 135 the only definite figures).
