In only a few publications is the secret air reconnaissance of the III Reich touched upon and its significance for war preparation is elaborated upon with concrete examples. This presentation brings a hidden chapter of World War II into the public spotlight through the documented history of this secret aerial reconnaissance – based in Oranienburg. A particular significance in this lecture is accorded to the location of Oranienburg-Wilhelminenhof in the historical context. In this place, the staff of the long-range image reconnaissance operated in close proximity to the Heinkel aircraft factory. Preparations for missions were made on this site, drop zones were defined and located, image cassettes were evaluated, aircraft were refurbished and equipped with state-of-the-art technology, and agent flights – including with foreign aircraft – were prepared. The speaker describes the military site of Oranienburg-Wilhelminenhof with all its facets in his lecture. Additionally, the seat of administration in Berlin as well as the housing locations in Oranienburg and Lehnitz that belonged to the social environment are discussed.

Of particular historical interest are the reconnaissance and agent operations of this imagery reconnaissance unit, which the speaker places at the center of his lecture. The political and military backgrounds of the operations are illuminated, supported by the individuals involved, and complemented by technical specifications. In addition to the image reconnaissance operations, the speaker also directs attention to the numerous special operations of the unit, which often took place deep in enemy territory.
