Jägerleitstellungen

[paw]

O.K., time to bring the Jägerleitstellungen topic a little bit up in the list

Did you take some measurements?

Now I finally did, pls. see attached image, originally from Alkali (thanks and credits..), with pasted lengths in cm. There are only minor differences in comparison with those from Poland -> I guess we can take it as a fact now, Freya EGONs on Stoppelruebe were about to be put on a wooden tower.

A couple of news from Pegasus site (not anything revolutionary, just some new finds):

The undeground part of a water station was discovered nearby garrison. As a complement, the pumping station and a well were found 900m away in the woods, and also 80m (!) below the garrison level. Quite a challenge for water pumps. Pictures attached.

...and some "historical garbage" left on the site by germ. troops also gave its testimonial:
Blendax toothpaste "Erhält Zähnfleisch und Zähne gesund und fest", while the notorious competitor Chlorodont has "Neuer Geschmäck, alte Güte" ("Inhalt 71g" )

Such things were found in the ground in the proximity of wooden towers -> looks like the staff was actually "living" in the operator rooms, when on duty.

Hi Paw,
Great finds and thanks for sharing.

It looks like time has stopped in that place. I wish I could go there with my metal detector - it would get very busy. These tubes usually say "Leere Tuben sammeln!" ("collect empty tubes" - to save & reuse precious materials). The quantity and diversity of tubes and empty packages found at former sites only shows that Germans were quite into hygiene.

Pavel, thank you for the measurements. Thanks to you we finally know what these concrete blocks were for - the towers elevating Freya-EGONs.

Kind regards,
Michal

My pleasure

Ad. collecting empty tubes - I see what You mean, however, in this case haven't spotted such label. On the other hand, most of the surface of tubes was hardly readable or unreadable -> I could have missed that pretty easily.

Ad. metal detecting - frankly speaking, this place is a detector hell, both in "all metal" and selective mode Debris is scattered virtually everywhere. Nothing valuable from "treasure hunters" point of view was found on the site, but quite many interesting things of daily use - spoons, canned food, toothpaste tubes, aluminium flare shells. The most interesting find was a very small piece of original equipment with "Siemens LGW" label (= Luftfahrtgerätewerk Hakenfelde GmbH).
