Maybe you can ID these broken planes?? The three men in the snow appear to be wearing flight suits-I don't know if they are Axis or Allied.
No idea what the 2 seat fabric covered (asusming biplane) thought it might be HE51 but not sure if ever 2 seat varients??? Pic 2 looks like the missing wings off the He111. See the jumo motors and the hugh eliptical form. Whats the builing in the background looks, to complex to be hanger, looks like a factory or a terminal building? Kev
No idea about the building. The column spacing looks too close for a hanger, but that is what I would expect it to be. Maybe we are looking at the back? The German's didn't appear to put a lot of emphasis on tidying up the place. The pilot (I assume) kneeling by the fabric covered plane, do you make him out to be German? The HE 111 is the big plane in the first picture and the ME 109 is the smaller in the same picture?
my old friend told me he saw american planes being broken in mid air by our aa guns,for strafing khaki uniformed soldiers.yours,lee.blue on blue they call it now.

Not a civil engineer but all the framework looks like its for windows, which may explain why all the steel work is there but nothing else. I get the impression this is late in the war, Tidying up doesnt come into it, its looks abandonded. Yep the big one is the He111, The Me109 is a hard call as the motor has been removed, its looks cleanly removed maybe removed on purpose and thets the main recognition feature as to what makr, so its hard to say. Right mess. Not sure on any of the uniforms. Kev
Certainly is a 109. The canvas aircraft looks like an Arado, though I am not able to ascertain what model.

Your hidden agenda is not so hidden these days, and getting tiresome. All it does is make you look foolish. Stick to the subject, please.
yes,friendly fire was as comon then,as it is now.but getting back to the subject,i think i have a book with a couple of these photos,but the large one is definately a he-111.yours,lee.
