Backtheattack Posted December 14, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2012 A very interesting museum in the Czech Republic near the German border: Museum 11.09.1944 Albert E. Trommer Str. 696 43186 KOVARSKA CZECH REPUBLIC http://www.museum119.cz At September 11, 1944, above the Ore Mountains a formation of B-17G Flying Fortresses of the 100th Bomb Group, 3rd Bomb Division escorted by P-51 Mustang fighters of the 55th and 339th Fighter Group 8th USAAF clashed with a formation of German Me109 and FW190 intercept fighters of the II.(Sturm) and III. Gruppe Jagdgeschwader 4. More then 50 airplanes were shot down during the battle. Visited this museum for several times, they show off dig out parts of the planes, gifts from veterans, and much more. A very interesting museum. Backtheattack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backtheattack Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted December 17, 2012 gwb123, see you at Hof, Bavaria, Germany, for a trip to the Czech Republic!! They start after the fall of the iron curtain, and now it`s a great museum with a lot of gifts of veterans, both american and german. And today they support several other private owned museums who search for informations about the air war in World War II. Backtheattack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backtheattack Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted August 25, 2014 Visited the museum there again after two years. Some new dig out relics in the collection in a new room together with some more gifts from veterans, and a new created room for "POW" history with a lot of information about captured american airmen from the shot-down planes. They have a little RAF room, too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backtheattack Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share #23 Posted September 14, 2014 Thank`s. Thought the "V" in the plate looks like a german plate from "Vogtlandkreis". Bad I couldn`t visit. Will visit Pilsen in November, hope I could visit the Patton museum there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
