Fully armed fighters in bunkers under an East Berlin airport. Have any of you guys heard anything else about this? Just checking...

Hi--

This one (or something very like it) has cropped up before. Were it to prove true, I'd think it would be the thing to do to punch a few strategic holes in the runways (to get at the buried treasure) before "strengthening" them! Digging for 262s or 190Ds and finding them, pristine and utterly complete...egad...the thought of it is thrilling. My guess? Too good to be true. But then that "freeze dried" P-38 under the Greenland icecap was also too good to be true...and look what happened there. Will watch this with interest.

S.

I remember it from the old board. http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/vafrefugees/wix6msgboard.mv?parm_func=showmsg+parm_msgnum=1001498

Note that the article you linked to is about a year old.

Interestingly Simon King replied, "better ask Herb Tischler of the Texas Aircraft factory- he trained at the Henschel works there during the war."

That would be very cool if there were intact aircraft down there. Something has to have happened between a year ago and now. I know this might be a lame question, who's Herb Tischler. I just read that from your link. Why would working at Henschel give him knowledge of that place, and if it did, we need to be talking to him.
