WW2 AERIAL RECON STUDIES

German Training Areas in Poland

Eastern Front

Prior to WW 2 the Wehrmacht operated a large number of training areas in Germany. After 1939, the army and Waffen SS were quick to set up training areas in occupied Poland including SS Truppenübungsplatz Heidelager and three regional areas, Süd, Mitte and Nord. Another, Truppenübungsplatz Gross Born, was located in German Pomerania.
