Hi there folks,
Auctioned for the second time this year a set of four photos depicting a Waldwerk or Reparaturwerk "near Linz", photographed in June 1945 by a member of Company B, 133rd Armored Ordnance Maintenance, 11th Armored Division.

The location "near Linz" could match both with a delocalised facility of the Flugzeug- und Metallbauwerke GmbH - Wels which did repair and refit both Ju 87's and Bf 109's since 1940 or with the Messerschmitt GMBH aircraft factory of KZ Aussenlager Gusen, located some 19 km east of Linz, which produced since 1943 Bf 109's and Me 262's since Summer 1944.
Is there any clue to refine the location of this set of photos ?
Please notice that at least two airframes are WNF built Bf 109 G-14's (photos 1 and 2), the one seen in photo 1 having W.Nr. 510 224 stencilled under the windscreen, a highly unusual position.
Thanks in advance for any information allowing to pinpoint the location.
Cheers
Marc
