Re: Marshalling yard at Erding

Thank you Richard, for the headsup - I was just preparing to scan p.2 in my office.
Concerning the Erding/Berglern fuselages - is it possible those depict the semi-assembled status achieved at the Passau-Oberzell assembly factory? Oberzell lies in between Gusen and Erding very close to the main railway connection.
I just want to draw your attention to another small detail of the WOTBC 7 photograph, which has nothing to do with the Me 262, but might be an indicator for the situation in 1945 and especially for Messerschmitt.
Several damaged Bf 109 fuselages and wingpairs can be seen, also neatly lined up for further use. (The fuselages come from a heavy air raid on EJG 1 not long before) Designations "Flossenbürg" and "Pocking" have been chalked on ist, whereas KZ Flossenbürg (BF 109K-4 production) had a Zerlegebetrieb and Pocking airfield seems to have some sort of repair facility which seems not to be known very well.
I don´t want to exclude some stop-gap facilities which have been established in the last war days, all of them connected to Messerschmitt´s production spider-web across South-East Germany and always in connection with railway tracks (think of Wertheim).
Similar to Pocking - why shouldn´t Erding have been one of this production - or better assembly - sites?
One feature though - every such site had connection to forced labour camps. I don´t know whether Erding had such camps.
Coincidence wants it that I´m attending a conference in Erding this weekend. Having some good friends in the city administration who I´m going to meet then I might be able to ask some questions.

Regards

Roland
