Re: French experts sought for German visual beacons
Hello Michäel and Brian,
Michäel: though the Staffeln of the III./KG 3 had (mainly) Venlo and Gilze-Rijen as operational base between July and September 1944, they often used Rosières-en-Santerre (SE of Amiens) and - a bit further SE) Roye-Amy as so called 'Absprunghafen' if targets like Portsmouth were choosen. For missions agains London, they used Venlo and Gilze-Rijen. It was not unusual that He111's took of from Venlo in the early evening to fly to Amy first, starting an air launch later that night.
Brian: your offer is greatfully accepted because I don't know this map at all. Apparantly it shows exactly what I am looking for, fingers crossed !
Warm greetings from Venlo, Marcel
