Re: More Hi Res Aerial Photos ETO

Hello Scott (again)!

I have identified the last "unknown" photo (Nr 29 "Kassel"): this shows the "Henschel Flugmotoren Werk" in Altenbauna, 7 km SSW of Kassel downtown. Note that the photo orientation is South-top...
The site is still a very large Henschel factory but now reshaped beyond recognition. I could identify it only because I found a plan of the factory in 1943!
Knowing where to look, it is still possible to find out the layout of the main tracks, some roads and streets. the most obvious is the workers barracks (long houses in general) neighborhood which was reused basically unchanged and very much recognizable, 1.5 km N of the factory.
