miked Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Good to see the Newton Chambers Lufftwaffe shot again (Deansgirl) Does anyone have the rest of the Sheffield photos. I tried to find them years ago but only found they were in Washington DC. - An unfortunate quirk of fate that the US. found them after the war. Although thankfully not lost. I know Barnsley Council had some copies (incuded Wharncliffe) but these were apparently lost during reorganisation. I am new to this site but begining to think you people can do anything! Shouldn,t we have copies? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're looking in the wrong place vox, Try writing to that Bierkeller in Germany called the "Berl Inn" Start your letter off with Dear Mr Goering, I am writing to enquire if you have any pictures of Sheffield taken by your outfit on or around December 1940 and finish it off with I don't suppose you know who dropped the bomb at the end of our street that destroyed our local chip shop do you? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Richard Sorry dont know how to do link but its- "Lufwaffe Bombing Map, Newton Chambers Tank Works" by Deansgirl I have tried to find ut how I tracked down other Luftwaffe pictures to Washington but cant. My memory is failing. (I read that Google are publishing allied photos of Europe) I particularly wanted the picture of the old Musket-Rifle range on Wharnciffe which I understood was oblique. As far as I know other photgraphs of the range are none-existant. If anyone has any I would be very grateful for a copy. Mike Link to Dean's Topic ..
