  • Kulturminneplan Nyhavna
    Kulturminneplan Nyhavna - Kulturhistorisk stedsanalyse av Dora ubåtanlegg Forord Kulturmiljøet på Nyhavna består av 13 bygninger: 2 ubåtbunkere, en fyringsbunker, 2 spissbunkere og et antall øvrige verksted- og verftsbygninger. Bygningene er gitt verneklasse A, B eller C på Trondheim kommunes aktsomhetskart og har stor krigshistorisk verdi. Anlegget har nasjonal og internasjonal betydning og står som et av flere bindeledd i felles Europeisk krigskulturarv. Nyhavna, Reina og nærliggende områder skal utvikles som ny urban bydel. Med det utløses et behov for kartlegging og plan for bevaring av de kulturhistoriske elementene i landskapet. Kulturminneplanen for Nyhavna skal tjene som et verktøy i plan- og utviklingsarbeidet og inngår i kommuneplanens arealdel. Planen skal sørge for at utvikling skjer i samspill med bevaring av kulturverdiene i området. Med utgangspunkt i detaljert analyse og samlet verdigrunnlag blir tålegrenser, handlingsrom og utviklingspotensial vurdert for hvert enkelt bygg og kulturmiljøet som helhet. Denne analysen er utført etter DIVE-metoden; et verktøy utviklet av blant annet Riksantikvaren i et nordisk samarbeid. Grunnlagsmaterialet er utarbeidet av Byantikvaren i Trondheim kommune. Takk til Obos, Trondheim Havn, Dora AS, Forsvarsmuseet Rustkammerets magasin og Marinemuseet i Horten for godt samarbeid. Stine Haga Runden Byantikvaren i Trondheim 2019 Innholdsfortegnelse 1.

All survivors are now well into their eighties. Those involved in reconstructing the period, the emotional rollercoaster that was part of every day and each combat mission, ask for understanding and tolerance for fallible memories.

  • Air Force, 57Th Bombardment Wing (M) 321St Bombardment Group (M) History: April 1945
    12th Air Force, 57th Bombardment Wing (M) 321st Bombardment Group (M) History: April 1945 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For my dad, Colonel John “Jack” Fitzgerald, U.S. Army (deceased) “Lil Butch” John T. Fitzgerald, SMSgt, U.S. Air Force (retired) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12th Air Force, 57th Bombardment Wing (M) 321st Bombardment Group (M) History: April 1945 The following is a compilation of the 321st Bomb Group’s Headquarters and individual Squadron War Diaries. They have been transcribed word for word, from the Squadron Histories provided by the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA), Maxwell Air Force Base Alabama. At the end of each Squadron’s daily entry, the individuals cited in the entry are identified by full name, rank and duty, in alphabetical order. The day’s entry begins with the Tactical Operations Statement, from the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) Chronology, for the Mediterranean Theater of Operations (MTO). The history also includes mission reports, mission crew rosters, Missing Air Crew Reports (MACR), personal mission logs, journals, and diaries made available by various sources. Invitation Anyone who has documentation pertaining to the 321st Bomb Group or its members, and would like to have it included in this history, is welcome to participate. Copies of: photos (official or personal); orders (promotion, decoration, travel, etc.); Mission Reports; Missing Air Crew Reports; personal diaries, logs, journals, etc; other documentation; or information that will help identify hi-lited individuals will be greatly appreciated, as one of my goals is to correctly identify every man and plane assigned to the 321st Bomb Group. My only interest in this project is to honor those who served by perpetuating their story, and making it available for future generations, particularly the families and friends of our Great Heroes.
