Re: More Hi Res Aerial Photos ETO

You are right Yogy, this is not Rothwesten. However the airfield is genuine: this is Kassel-Waldau airfield, home of Fieseler firma, and this is also one of the places where Fw-190D9 were built in 1944.
Did you notice the nice Flak battery in the lower left corner?

The airfield location is now a industrial zone, but the large hangar in the bottom right still exists and is in use; the concrete taxiway which was used to get access to the hangar still exists for 200 m (as well as a small bit of the one going to the weapon test range and another 100 m of taxiway at 45° angle with the first one...)

PS: Scott, your photos are quite unique you know...it's a pure wonder, and I am also very interested by the oblique ones concerning the Noball targets (this is the area where I live most of the time, and I know this stuff since I am 10 years old...and I'm 51 now!)
