Re: Info on Crash Site Dec 11, 1944 Mannheim
Mannheim-Neckarau
5 km SW of Feudenheim and very close to the old city airfield:
Mannheim-Stadt (GER) (49 28 30 N – 08 31 00 E)
General: Einsatzhafen in Baden-Württemberg 4 km S of Mannheim city center. 1927 Flughafen. 1932 Flughafen I with customs office. 1939 in Luftwaffe service. Grass surface with paved hangar apron. Also an Industriehafen for Flumann (Flugzeugwerke Mannheim) Messerschmitt repair workshops?
School Units: Arbeitsplatz for Schule/FAR 43, FFS A/B 43 then FFS A 43 (Crailsheim); Arbeitsplatz for FFS A/B 121 then FFS A 121 (Straubing) (1940-45);
Station Units:
I wonder if the raid was aimed at the Messerschmitt repair workshops there? It would have been a logical target.
