Re: eBay: German intrest
Snautzer - thanks for the additional information in your Post #321, above. The comment about the photo interpreters not being able to tell dummy and unoccupied Flak positions from those that were occupied and active is too true. Most of the Luftwaffe aerial photos for the Eastern Front airfields were taken from 7,500 - 8,000 meters and while all or most of the Flak positions are shown, the annotations made on the print by the interpreters never provide information stating which were occupied and which unoccupied. Flak towers were a rarity in the East, too, but rooftops on the airfields were definitely used.
For every measure initiated by the Allies, the Germans came up with a countermeasure and vice versa.
Thanks again,
L.
