Re: Identity of Ju-52 lost Berlin April 1945-East West Axis

Can someone post this pic of a JU52 wreck in Berlin at the end of the war?
Having been to Berlin many times, and being a pilot myself.. I would like to figure out where JU-52's could have gotten in and out of Berlin Center.

The East West Ave that is always mentioned would not only be tight for an aircraft the size of a JU-52, there's the issues of the two major obstacles. The Brandenburg Tor and the Siegessaule.

Coming in over Unter Den Linden, you'd have to clear the BT (which really wouldn't be a big problem) but then you'd have a stopping problem. To come in from the other direction.. you'd have to make an arching approach around the SS and again, worry about stopping. This curved approach would be a handful for any pilot in normal conditions.. but to do it with low vis, while being fired upon and landing into a strip with debris is something I can't get a handle on.

Interesting discussion though~

Always
Motch
