9th Air Force 'RESTRICTED Luftwaffe 'Operation Bodenplatte' 1943 Map Report: $289.00
Operation Bodenplatte (Baseplate), launched on the 1st of January 1945, and was an attempt by the Luftwaffe to cripple Allied air forces in the Low Countries during the Second World War. The goal of Bodenplatte was to gain air superiority during the stagnant stage of the Battle of the Bulge so that the German Army and Waffen-SS forces could resume their advance. The operation was planned for 16 December 1944, but was delayed repeatedly due to bad weather until New Year's Day, the first day that happened to be suitable. Compiled from the reports of the 9th Air Force as well as a final analysis of German prisoner of war interrogations, this map shows the British, US, and German sectors of the area of operations. The sheet is marked at a 1=1,500,000 scale and highlights of the planned attacks, planned but not attacked, targets of opportunity, and bases from which enemy units (Germans) operated. The note section located towards the bottom of the map denotes three important messages and information such as the types of German planes used as well as the lead planes the Germans employed. The map sheet shows and notes some of the most infamous battle of the Luftwaffe during Operation Bodenplatte on January 1st, 1945 and shows the infamous battles listed below: Maldegem Ursel St. Denijs Westrem Sint-Truiden Volkel Heesch Antwerp-Deurne Woensdrecht Metz-Frescaty Le Culot Ophoven Asch Brussels-Melsbroek Gilze-Rijen Eindhoven
