Re: ID help: Heinkel h-111 Kg 26 Verdal - Norway
Ian!
Thanks once again for replying to my threads.
I have looked at the picture once more and I think this is Vaernes(Værnes) airfield by Trondheim. If you look under the left wing of the Heinkel you could see what I believe is a JU87 Stuka with extra fuel tanks. The mountain in the back is also something I do recall as area around Vaernes.
The soldier who most likely was with the 181 ID thar is the prior owner of this album landed on Jonsvatnet in the early April and there are picture of the troop walking to Vaernes airfield where I belive this Heinkel photo is taken.
Do to other pictures in the album I think this Heinkel went down on Vaernes between 22.April and in the early Mai.
There are pictures of the battle of Verdal which tell me that this must be early in the campain the picture is taken.
Maybe there is more alternatives now?
