Great Luftwaffe photo archive

http://www.bild.bundesarchiv.de/cross-search/search/_1263065423/?search[view]=detail&search[focus]=61

The Bundesarchiv online photo collection.

Just found the above – select dates 1939 – 1945 and type in ‘flugzeug’ and just sit back!

There are a few British type as well – they have 11 million images and have so far only digitised 100000!

The caption says it’s an air-dropped supply cannister, complete with stencilled instructions stating the cannister itself is not to be burnt.

Looks like the re-productive organ of the He 111 imo. Guess that’s why so many of them were “made”. 😀

No worries.

The very mention of “German air-dropped supplies” gives me the shivers. Was something of a storm in a teacup over on one of the other boards recently when someone posted a link to photos taken around Stalingrad after Sixth Army’s surrender … frozen bodies as far as the eye could see, some of the poor ******s were still recognisable.

“Hey diddle-dee-dee,
a civilian’s life for me!”

Search” Flugplatz Volkel” and you get a nice sequence of 20-odd images of hangar construction at Volkel.
