Re: Seeking ID of large industrial complex being overflown by Bf110C of St V.(Z)/LG1 Gr Kdr circa spring 1940

Ed,

I looked at what you posted. The real key to the ID of this is the five smokestacks with the specific buildings and the water tower behind them. "Lilsis" also sent me a PM with something like this row of stacks, but the buildings don't seem to match. The location also is in NE German, which is not where I think that this is likely to be. Both France and Belgium also has major industrial areas like this, although I don't think this could have been over one of them until after the surrenders. This doesn't look like a combat mission over the plant facility.

We'll find this, as the smokestacks are very distinctive, and are probably the key to identifying this place, and thus being able to ID the approximate date.
