Thanks. Interesting photos. Particularly the Market garden glider shots. I just watched A Bridge too Far again yesterday.
Pretty funny comments too The Air Force bombing from 30,000 ft in daythime and RAF bombers unloading their bombs in the hours of darkness were lucky to put a bomb load in a 1200 foot circle. No smart bombs in those days. in 1943 only about 16% of bombs fell within 1,000 feet of their aiming point. Precision Bombing....wasn't.
That idiot who suggests the American connected buildings were intentionally left untouched is a looney.:rolleyes:

they really pour it to the Peenemunde site, probably a huge priority.
