Re: Aerial Photo Halberstadt Airfield
Scott,
I assume the photo does also show the north part of Halberstadt airfield ?
If this is the case, you can see in this area a accumulation of buildings.
Most of this were barracks and quarters for the parachute troops of II./LGG1 (Air Landing Geschwader 1), stationed in Halberstadt.
(involved in the invasion of Crete, the release of Mussolini on Gran Sasso)
Since 1941 the airfield was mainly a traineeship for this special unit and they used transport gliders.
This should be the reason for the presence of a glider and a He111-Z towplane on the photo.
I'll send you a PM.
