Great site for aerial photos of Thuringian places

[ChristianK]

Gentlemen,


I've stumbled across this site which has a wealth of historical aerial photos from Thuringia: https://www.geoportal-th.de/de-de/Do...nd-Orthophotos


I have found great photos of many airfields in the spring of 1945. You can even see e.g. Bf 109 NG+PZ besides this one hungarian Ar 96 on the apron in Gotha-Süd, B-17 "Phyllis Marie" in Altenburg and I have even very likely pinned down the location of the rather well-known JG 4-109s "Yellow 8" and "White 6" at Feldflugplatz Eisfeld (not Eisenach-Kindel as it's often stated. Which, by the way, didn't exist in 1945).

You have to change the "Bildtyp" to "Historische Luftbilder" and set the desired timeframe, then search for the desired location. It is a little fiddly but you'll get the hang of it. Have fun!


Cheers,
Christian
