Ok most likely this is a german Production plant. I had a quick look at well know locations Like Bremen, Essen, Kassel, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Duisburg etc etc... Wondering what they made here... King Tiger? the E projects? Messerschmit factory? I did have a look at the KMW Factory and the Blom und Voss Factory's they didnt look like it :)

Cheers Buck

Congratulations!!
The Schweinfurt–Regensburg mission was an air combat battle in World War II. A strategic bombing attack flown by B-17 Flying Fortresses of the U.S. Army Air Forces on August 17, 1943, it was conceived as an ambitious plan to cripple the German aircraft industry. The mission was also known as the "double-strike mission" because it entailed two large forces of bombers attacking separate targets in order to disperse fighter reaction by the Luftwaffe, and was the first "shuttle" mission, in which all or part of a mission landed at a different field and later bombed another target returning to its base.
The "second Schweinfurt raid" bombed World War II ball bearing factories to reduce production of Luftwaffe fighter aircraft. Named Black Thursday because the crewmember losses were the highest for a USAAF mission.
