ok great thanx & it may well be just as you guess
& the photo caption may well be either correct or
incorrect too btw
but all i keep seeing here in the outline maps is that
the iron curtain did follow the bavaria meinengen
border
& also did follow the coburg meinengen border
&
the present bavaria thuringia border does still
resemble the alignment of the iron curtain
not at all everywhere
as i believe you indicate
but still
judging from outline maps
very likely at the 2 specific locations we are talking
about
& for that reason i still believe jespers photo & its
matching tripoint may still be places on de2byth
or so it still seems to me
but by all means be my guest & bust this guess if you
positively can

yes exactly & precisely
these are the points i mean here above
& again i believe they at least are still discernible
on the map of de2byth today
please take a close look & tell me you dont agree

wealthy too
