Cotton in the ME Bf 109?
On 19 July 1944, the US 8th Air Force bombed Spinnerei & Weberai Kottern (Cotton Spinning and Weaving) of Kempten, Germany.
In an analysis of the bombing, the factory was listed as producing "Me 109 components".
What components for an aircraft would a cotton mill produce? Or had the factory been re-tasked to a wartime industry?
Thanks,
Tom
