Hi Erich,my dad did fly for the 126. infanteriedivision (Paul Laux).In 1940 he did fly in the operation Niwi. In '41 he was in the area of Demjansk and had sometimes to fly for generalfieldmarshal Ernst Busch.In this area he was until the end of war.

Interesting. The Fiesler Storch is really an interesting airplane. There are some good sites on the web about the Storch and I would think Erich probably knows of a good book or two about it. If you are looking for some pictures of one, I have a few on my website at: Van Gilder Aviation Photography, Fiesler Storch

Wilkommen Granni!

Where in the Blackforest are you? I have relatives in Freiburg. I drive to there from Ansbach many times a year.

granni55 · 08-03-2006, 03:22 PM

Hi,Freiburg is very hot indeed,15 km in the south
MfG granni

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 08-03-2006, 03:37 PM

Sehr gut. Herzlich Wilkommen hier!

timshatz · 08-03-2006, 03:37 PM

Question about the Black Forrest. Is it connected or in any way part of the Hurtegen Forrest? Are they two separate forest, many miles apart?

Sorry to jump your thread like this but it's Black Forrest related.

granni55 · 08-04-2006, 12:23 AM

Hi Timshatz,the "Hürtgenwald" is near Achen that means about 400 km away from Freiburg in the north

Thanks. My geography is good enough for "Jepardy" but not the real world distances. Gap in the learning just go filled in.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 08-04-2006, 08:25 AM

The Freiburg area is beautiful. One of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
