Talk:Oberpfaffenhofen

Photograph
Please explain the importance of the photograph to the article on the town. Is it an important photograph? Is it well known? Are there secondary sources that explain the importance? If there is not a good justification it has no place here. Wikipedia is not a collection of trivia about a place. --Dhartung | Talk 21:18, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Role in WW II
This city was a target for massive B-17 air raids in 1945. The one I know most about occurred on April 9, 1945. The USAAF 91st BG(H), among others, attacked the Airdrome in the town. This is an account from a member of the 324th Squadron of that Group which was based in Bassingbourn, England:

"On the 9th and 10th [of April 1945] we were back in the air again, to the Me 262 jet fighter airfields at Oberpfaffenhofen and Oranienburg, flown both times by 1Lt Charles C. Wallace's crew, but with Lt Bullen flying as copilot. Me 262 fighters came up at us on the 9th, but their attacks were broken up by our fighter escorts before anyone was hit." from “Mary Ruth” Memories of Mobile... We Still Remember by Lowell L. Getz, 2001. http://www.91stbombgroup.com/mary_ruth/Chapter_1.htm Don (talk) 08:40, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
