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

[RolandF]

Hallo Fliegerhorst,

yes, the small road where the DB 605s were stored is called "Eichelsteige" leading east from the northern mouth of "Schlossberg" tunnel. The eastern part is yet too steep to be used for storage purposes.
I´ve identified "Kaffelstein" tunnel as potential 2nd tunnel in post #19. One question, though, Fliegerhorst. The DB 605 trolleys - especially the iron wheels - look like they are meant for use on iron tracks and not on the bare ground. Was the railway bridge connecting Schlossberg and Kaffelstein tunnel damaged or destroyed during the final war months? This might explain the use of "Eichelsteige" for engine storage and the absence of assembly activity for Kaffelstein tunnel in March/April 1945. Before this, engine storage might have taken place there with the trolleys being pushed across the bridge for final assembly in "Schlossberg" tunnel.
Is or was there some kind of railway connection between Wertheim railroad and Wetheim airfield plateau? There´s always the possibility of truck transportation but Mtt e.g. preferred railway tracks when available.

Marc, go for "Mainschleife Urphar" east of Wertheim - might be of some archeological interest...

Regards

Roland
