So you think Salz and Baden are 2 different airfields? The distance between the 2 places is maybe 10km, I guess.

Have no idea, it's Denes who knows better :)

Yes, Selz (Salz) and Baden were two different airfields. One was used by ARR, the other by the Luftwaffe.

Thanks for the input!

Would have been nice to get this information earlier in the according thread on the worldwar2.ro-Forum. Anyway, there are enough AF's on the map - I hope :o.

And when I ever do another map for another game, I know where to ask now :).

EDIT: I just saw that you were there some days ago ;).

I looked out the places on a Luftwaffe-map from 1943, see attachement. Baden and Selzy are only 2km apart. This might be a bit to near for placing 2 different airfields... maybe it is just one airfield with different designations?

Thanks, Jörg, for the map. Now the exact location of these localities is clear.

However, what's not clear is the spelling of the lower village. Was it Selz, Selzy, Salz, Saltz, or Zeltsy? I am interested in the official Russian name of the city in 1941.

Thanks,

Hi,

concerning the name I can confirm find out what we already know...

"[...]der gesuchte Ort "Seltzy" oder Selzy, [...], heißt in
der aktuellen amtlichen ukrainischen Sprache "Limanskoe". "

There are some maps on the Ukraine in 1:100.000 available in the internet. Did you check these already?

Thanks, but what I am actually interested in is the official Russian name in 1941, not the current Ukrainian one, which is irrelevant to my book (which happens in 1941). For now, I will go with 'Selz (Salz, Zeltsy)'.
