Can anyone tell me if there is a military camp somewhere on that map and where if so? Also, besides the airfields, are there any other good ground targets for bombers to hit on the map anywhere else?

Thanks in advance!

The Factory seemed to be on of the focal points of battle in the city. Pitomik airfield was a hot spot (traficking of German aircraft in and out). Any area on the banks of the Volga as well, at one point the Germans had the Russians pinned there with only a few hundred yards to spare. Initially the Germans bombed the entire city rendering the city streets impassable, this really hindered their armor when they entered the city (cost them dearly). Hope this helps.
