Demitroff/Demitrov and/or Remitroff (Remitrov) were probably Feldflugplätze without infrastructure or permanent services that were little more than an empty field or pasture to which a few drums of gas and some ammunition had been delivered. Used maybe for a few days or a week or two by single-engine units during the campaign in Russia. Once the front moved, they were abandoned and not heard of again.

Thanks Larry, thought as much. But it has been photographed by i think a pk man. So i hoped perhaps there was more info.

Larry, Michael,
The only possible place I found should be Dmitriyew or Dmitrowsk both being in (larger) area of Orel, base for III./JG51. It happens this pictured Bf109 F sounds to be a III./JG51 machine according cowling camouflage.
That's the best I can do for now.
Cheers,
Franck.
PS: Left to ID the pilots :)
