Re: Captured German planes, not from eBay
Hi there Gang,
Innsbruck-Hötting keeps on popping up it seems. This time thanks to three very crisp photos taken by Sgt. Richard E. Heavrin, Battery "A" 534th AAA (AW) Bn, which negatives were scanned by M. L. Woolfolk and uploaded on Flickr here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mwoolf...-apaGH4-apdrfd Given that the mountains are still white with snow - which fell as late as 1 May 1945 - and that two of the JV 44 machines have still camouflage material on their wings or near the tail in the case of "Schwarze 1", I wonder if those photos might have been taken right after the arrival of the US troops on 4 May. Cheers Marc
