Bodenwöhr Waldwerk - Mtt Bf 109 K-4 assembly lines 1944 - 1945

[Marc-André Haldimann]

Dear Carl,

Thanks so much for your W.Nr. input. Glad also to know you're working on an essay on this highly fascinating topic. Looking forward to read you, the sooner the better!

Dear Ouidjat,

on s'améliore avec le temps;-))). Getting better with time...

Servus Roland!

I closely checked the masonry work of the tunnel portal photographed in 1945 (Noro 2009, p. 102, pic #137). The layout of the stones of the three upper masonry courses above and right of the tunnel entrance are one and the same with the current photograph depicting the northern entrance of the tunnel of Kreuzwertheim.

From a stonework analysis point of view, a very common technique in my - archaeological - field, this settles the case: the three sets of Bf 109 wings depicted on pic #137 were discarded in front of the Northern entrance of the Kreuzwertheim Tunnel. A check of the masonnry of all the other tunnel entrances shown on this internet site do differ, sometimes radically.

Many many thanks for pinpointing this unknown assembly/repair site. Any possibility to have the GoogleEarth coordinates? As you rightly point out, the toughest remains to be settled: since when was there a link between Wertheim and Mtt Regensburg and how did it work?

Cheers
Marc
