Parow airfield




The last of the special landmarks in this map: the artillery test side at Rügenwalde.
As there were no detailed descriptions, maps or recce photos, this is "only" my interpretation of what could be found...

barracks and staff buildings


the ammo factory


the artillery garage and repair station


so called "Vögele-Drehscheibe" for train guns and the huge frame for test firing


@ Knochenlutscher:
Hope you will like it anyway...

Impressive research as always Seppel.

Superb work so far.

These projects seem to take over your life somewhat and days turn to years befor you know it, congratulations on the work so far.

Take care and be safe.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

[Seppel]

Thanks so much!
Actually this project has to be pressed into the small gaps of spare time.
I am allways afraid of less interest in this map,
BUT:
There are 13 airfields left, than the map is finally finished!!

Sure there would have to be some rework of failors after the release, but this -I guess- won't be that much work.

And a Cold War Version is in my mined, but it will only be the map without most of the airfields, therefore some jet air bases.
We'll see...

[Seppel]

Latest airfields, that had been finished...

Schleswig-Land (Jagel)


...and Schleswig-See


combined airfield for land and sea planes at Ribnitz


Rostock-Marienehe - works as both - Luftwaffe airfield and factory airfield for the large Heinkel facilities

[Seppel]

Tarnewitz (testing and research) airfield.

(My research found, that their was only a grass surface. The recon picture also seems to show a natural surface - so "my" airfield is not sealed with asphalt...)

[Uzin]

I admire your airfields .
