Kriegsschule Hannover (War-school)

[Bredan]

I research an Camp from the war-School Hannover.

In the wartime they use an Barrak-camp in the north of Hannover.

I´ve heard, that they drilled Luftwaffen -Groundpersonal. (My Grandpa found in the barraks an allied Silk-Map and an german Mercartormap)
Sure is, in the end of war, lokal Volkssturm-troops get there Maschinegun training.

I believe, that they used Barraks from a Autobahn building area.

But now , we find the places, where the wooden barraks stands.
They are small , I mean about 3 x5m ...
Only sand foundation .

Only 1 concrete(Beton) fondation and now my question:

What kind of building is it?

Kitchen or toilett, shower...?

You can see at the Map, what we find.

My friend search with an detector, so wie find many mask-filters , 2 MG 42 catch(?) and other training weapon things... But only at on Barrak, so I believe ist was a store...

The School is much bigger , but we dont find traces after so many years....

The Pic.s above shows the improved fire range at top of a small hill.

The soldiers fires in a valley. An old man told me, the target are wooden soldiersilouettes...

At the end of war, the kids find many grenades, ammunition and antitank gredadeslauncher . They shoot at trees ...

An neigbour collects the maskfilters to get the activecoal for filtering "black burned alcohol"

Nows somebody the thing first the last 3 pics?

This in an MG-Belt... the only "real" ammunition we find...

Note the really early date at the Bottom.. ´38!!

The plastic-caps...? How old..? I dont know.

This area used after the war by another armys in the ´50 .

Here you see an place in the forest, where am barrak stands.
This was an place, where you see the foundation "good", because the barrak stands at the flank of an hill...

The plastic cap are muzzle covers. This style was used during WW2. But I am not 100% certain these are wartime due to the colour, especially the larger one on the left.

Cheers, Ade.
