(Actually, I tried that URL and it didn't work for me. However, you can get there by going to:
http://www.3ad.us
Eick's pages can be found through Site Search. Type in "Eick". This gets you 20 possibilities. Those of Luftwaffe interest are:
Russ Eick - First to Down a German Plane From German Soil - Details on shoot-down of Fw 190 on 18 Sept. 1944.
Eick Photo Collection - Nordhausen 1994 - Reunion photos, including an entrance to Nordhausen complex.
Eick Photo Collection - German planes - Nice photos of two Ju 88 aircraft (specific type identification courtesy of Artie Bob):
Ju 88 A-4, Werknummer 301568
Ju 88 G-6, Werknummer 622507
Returning to the search index, typing in "photos" gets you the following of interest:
Special 3AD WWII Photos Section - INDEX
Rocket Factory - Close-up photo of tail end of V-2.
Moving on from the search engine, going to World War II, go to HAYNES DUGAN, historian:
3AD Saga in WWII - Here, a couple of chapters are of Luftwaffe interest:
- Attack into Central Germany
-- Nordhausen Slave Labor Camp & Underground Factory - Detailed description of the treatment of slave workers there and activities at Nordhausen related to the V-1, V-2, V-3, and Junkers work.
- War's End & Occupation
-- Dealing with Displaced Persons & Allied POW's - Mention of evacuation of German scientists, physicists and the like involved in rocket research.
History Booklet Project in 1945 - Chapter V, "Drive to the Elbe", describes the liberation of the death camp slaves at Nordhausen and a bit about work related to the V-1, V-2, V-3, and Junkers engines.
