Help requested to identify location of the Luftwaffe scrapyard - Images
I have just been sent some footage from a friend in the USA who's father served with the 325th Fighter group. There is about an hour of footage from his time in service including footage taken while out and about. In the footage are some really (I think) interesting images that I wonder if someone here may be able to work out where they were taken?
All I can say is that the following images are taken from approx. 15-seconds of footage that appear to show a Luftwaffe aircraft scrapyard. Markings are visible so hopefully that may give a clue as to where they were stationed? Cheers, MP Last edited by Mysticpuma; 30th March 2018 at 14:57. |

"The following photo is one of three showing an ex-Croat Do17E-2 carrying US markings on the fuselage. This is 0304 WNr.2095 at Bari, January 1944."

The photos are from the graveyard of Tunis El Aouina, taken in May 1943. Visible are a Fw 190 from III./SKG 10 and several Ju 52 from different transport groups.
