WW2 and Google Earth

marcsignal

There are some cool things to be found on Google Earth relating to the war, here are some sites I found, and you can view photos taken at each location. Just copy and paste the co-ordinates into the search box in Google Earth.

51° 7'52.30"N 12°48'26.85"E = Colditz Castle POW Camp

49°25'51.27"N 11° 7'28.15"E = Nuremberg Rally Site

52°30'44.60"N 13°22'54.26"E = Berlin Bunker

48°16'12.12"N 11°28'8.60"E = Dachau Concentration Camp

48° 8'31.81"N 48° 8'31.81"N = Feldherrnhalle Munich where soldiers swore their oath to Adolf by torchlight

50°46'4.12"N 0° 9'56.68"E = One of many former RAF WW2 Airfields

There are loads around southern England of former RAF Airfields that are already marked into the Google Earth Database, as well as all of the recorded U-Boat sinkings and the resting place of the Bismarck

but the best one I've seen lately (which is sadly a scam) is this one

If anyone else has any interesting WW2 related co-ordinates, post away?

It actually was there a couple of years ago...And as one of the comments says, it's a Lancaster on it's way to one of the airshows.
Don't know if it's still there though
