Hi there Gang,

Any ideas about the location of this thoroughly bombed out airfield probably located in Southern Germany ?

Hello Marc
The hangar could be the aircraft works at Neubiberg ( s.Zapf " Flugplätze der Luftwaffe Bd.9 p.424 pic.0774).

Hallo HArold,

Thanks for your thoughts ! After checking out the available images, I wonder if we do not see here actually Fliegerhorst Roth as found by the US Army after the severe USAF bombing of 8 April 1945. The layout and damage pattern to the glass parts of the one hangar to be seen here are similar...

Hi Marc
Yes, you are right, Roth seems to be the right answer indeed. This will also explain the remains of a Me262 in the foreground - as mentioned in the text - and matches with the Bf109 G-12 (JG104) and the Ju290 A-7 PJ+PS (also a pic in the auctions of the same seller) which was at Roth in June 1945.

Thanks and cheers to Geneva

I attached the (modern) pic of Neubiberg I mentioned above......which led me on a wrong track, ha-ha
