T.T. -

That could well be the case, but an Einsatzhafen I. Klasse was already pretty well built out and could sustain operations indefinitely for up to a Gruppe of aircraft, including multi-engine aircraft. In a Genst.d.Lw. document dated 1 Dec. 1944 and entitled "Tarnzahlen für Flugplätze", Powunden is listed along with c. 950 other airfields still in use by the Luftwaffe in the Reich. It's code numbers were 1310, 7639 and 9292.

It was equipped with perimeter lighting, a probable flare path, a beam approach system and a visual Lorenz system for night landings. Most of the tenant units there from 1943 to January 1945 were NJG units.

Not unusual that a Einsatzhafen were upgraded to Fliegerhorst. Grove/Denmark is one example.

From ZaZeng Luftwaffe Airfields 1935 - 1945 Germany [1937 borders] Glienicke (GER): often appears in Allied documents in reference to an unidentified airfield, but possibly either Staaken or Schönwalde,both on the NW side of Berlin

I found a mention to this airfield in MACR 4068 (pg 3) with a drawing of the field and a direct connection as it says in the MACR they were stafing it. Airplanes on fire. This was 15-04-1944.

If i put this in google ai and ask which German ww2 airbase was there is says Fliegerhorst Wittstock (also known as Flugplatz Alt Daber). The dummy airfield Wittstock-Schweinrich was further away.

Hope it is of intrest.
