Hi all,

In the Crimea Luftwaffe seaplanes used a lake near Kerch which they called the Ortasli-See (Lake Ortasli). It was within artillery range from Taman, across the Kerch Strait, and thus it is probably the coastal lake referred to as Tobechiskoye on modern maps. I would like to have confirmation of this, however.

Some funny names there, it took my Times Atlas of the Second World War to find out that the port of Ak-Meschet is Chonomorske.

Thanks

Peter
