Re: Marshalling yard at Erding

Are you sure, Richard, Messerschmitt put up a Me 262 assembly line at Erding a/f for, how it seems, semi-finished jet planes? For the Bf109K-4 we know this was done also on different airfields including some strange sites such as Wertheim.
On the other hand - as you can see, Erding is situated halfway at the railway connection between the fuselage-producing sites Gusen close to KZ Mauthausen via Mühldorf-Mettenheim (also some Me 262 fuselages lying around) and the traditional assembly sites Waldwerk Kuno west from Munich?
My impression is those parts have been thrown from stake cars to gain transport space for other purposes. Not unimportant during the last days of WW2 imo.
Just one thought...

Regards

Roland
