My father was stationed at Friesing for a month, and then at Furstenfeldbruck for a month, September, 1944 through October, 1944. He was a member of the 555th Signal Aircraft Warning Battalion, and may have also been part of a flight control operation.

I am looking for any kind of information about what roles he might have played during this time period. Do you have any information about the US Army’s presence during this period?

I will be with a tour group in Munich in a couple of weeks, on Sunday, October 9th, and will try to get to your museum.

Does anybody there know anything about Prince Hubertus (of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) a WWII Luftwaffe fighter pilot who was killed when he was shot down on 26 November 1943 over Mosty on a courier mission in what is today the Ukraine. He was buried the following day at the Coburg family cemetery at Callenberg Castle. I’d be grateful for any information you might have on him. I’m keen to discover his rank, the type of aircraft he was flying when he was killed and whether he fought over England. With best wishes to the museum! Kind regards, Steve Webbe (in Surrey, England.)

The history of the airfield EDOS is beyond fascinating, during ww2 the hangars were underground and the airfield could be flooded to further disguise its identity, from the air it looked like a lake, nearby was a replica of a small town.
