Flugplatz Coxyde (1940-1944)

Yes, that was it.
But I wanted to let you have the fun of finding out for yourself as I know what you've got up your sleeve

 

'We Dood It' in action.

 

Good afternoon everyone. I am new to this forum, as I created an account specifically to reply on this subject. Last night, amidst some old documents I was researching, I found an 'Ausweis für einheimische Hilfskräfte', belonging to a worker on Coxyde airfield during the war. The company listed on the passport is Friedr. Wasserman, from Köln. The passport was distributed to workers from that company by the Bauleitung der Luftwaffe (according to the book 'De Nieuwe Orde aan de Westkust tijdens de Duitse bezetting in WO II' this company suffered the loss of a number of workers during a heavy bombardment. I have more questions than answers regarding the passport and was wondering if someone could contact me by chat? Kind regards, Max.

 

Hallo Max,

The name 'Wassermann' rings a bell. If I remember correctly (I should check), it was also the name of a German contractor involved in the building of the Atlantikwall. Perhaps it's just a coincidence though.
Would it be possible to post a scan of the document?

Mvg,
Christian

 

Hallo Christian,

Kan ik u die scan via E-mail bezorgen? Op het paspoort staan heel wat persoonlijke details vermeld, waardoor ik wat terughoudend ben om dit hier op het forum te posten. Met vriendelijke groet, Max.

 

Uiteraard Max, geen probleem.
Privé-mails kunnen vrij gemakkelijk via de inbox-functie (helemaal bovenaan rechts) van het forum worden verstuurd.
Jij beslist zelf naar wie van de forum-geregistreerden je de mail adresseert en wie kan reageren.

 

In orde, ik kijk het even na.

 

Ik vermoed dat mijn profiel te 'nieuw' is om een gesprek te starten. De optie 'start a conversation' staat nergens tussen.

 

Hi,

The aircraft which crashed near 'Normandie' restaurant at the Koninklijke baan was W3332 Spitfire Vb, pilot Morgan.

Best regards from another part of Belgium,
