Nowgorod - photos from air and bridge

[Akira Takiguchi]

My recent acquisition included many aerial photographs and maps; one of the portfolio is from 3./Aufkl.Gr.Ob.d.L.

Now a photo taken from the bridge, found in the estate of Obstlt. Matthes; taken later during winter 1943/44.

Great photos! I love aerial shots, particularly obliques. I've always wanted to see an aerial view of the fortress on the eastern bank of the Volkhov at Novgorod. I believe Spanish troops held it at some point during 1941-42.

It seems that photos are made in one day. http://cs306405.vk.me/v306405218/70dd/iIXqwnA9yik.jpg

Glad to see that more russian membership is flowing in; welcome!

Yes, perhaps you're right - early spring 1943. The ground texture appears very similar; the same day possibly. If not maybe 1-2 day difference!

Length of the shadow indicates the difference in a few minutes. ~ 20.
