Re: Me 262 fuselages found in railcars at Grazburg

I agree to Wolfgang, this could be Günzburg (in German you can also write it "Guenzburg", ue=ü)
Günzburg is situated close to the three Waldwerke at Burgau/Scheppach Forest, Riedheim and Justing forest, where the Me262's had been completed, and Leipheim airbase where the planes took off. In 1944 and 1945 the autobahn and the railway lines arround Leipheim/Günzburg were heavily used for the transport of Me262 parts.
After Leipheim airbase was destroyed by heavy bombing, the jets took off from the Autobahn (Stuttgart-Munich) at Günzburg.

Regards

Harold
