Schwäbisch Hall Airfield Museum

This is not the best video of this small but impressive museum dedicated to the Schwäbisch Hall airfield during its existence as a WW2 Luftwaffe and American air base. Schwäbisch Hall is in north-eastern part of Baden-Württemberg. It was in the beginning a civilian glider training base and suddenly before the Second World War changed to a military pilot training base. Many German bomber pilots were trained here but perhaps it is best known as the airfield the ME 262 German jet fighter aircraft was assembled and test flown before entering service with the Luftwaffe. When the war ended the Americans took it over and it became known as Dolan airbase. The museum reflects all these uses of the airfield with its numerous artefacts and also in the photo gallery where images of its past occupation can be viewed.
