Hauksbee 103 Posted February 25, 2014 While doing some web browsing, I happened a poor, snap-shotty picture of a smokestack ( two views of...) in Vaux-sur-Somme that implied it was where von Richtofen came to rest. 'Turns out it was the stack at the St.Colette brickworks. I poked a little further and here's what Vaux-sur-Somme looks like. Still a little villagey place on the Somme. I suspect it hasn't changed an awful lot since 1918. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted February 25, 2014 Yep - we had a well-made documentary about his last flight earlier in this forum somewhere. It was on YouTube, but I couldn't find it anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted February 25, 2014 If you stumble across it, I'd love to see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JFM 18 Posted February 26, 2014 Here are some photos I took when I was there last: Brickworks. KiA Field. Two more of the field. Holy cow, didn't realize the shots would come through so big! I'll leave them, unless there are complaints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted February 26, 2014 Hauksbee, I only found the docu in German. It seems to be quite well made, and maybe you can hear the original English below the German. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voKyOwaEkDg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Thanks, Olham. The German is a bit too much for me to follow, but I get the idea. A lot of it seems to be taken from the History Channel program, which I've see several times. From the pictures posted by Jim Miller, I now understand the smokestack that I originally found on-line. It's at the St.Colette Brickworks in Vaux-sur-Somme and the field where he landed is right behind it. Thanks, Jim.
