Re: Feldflugplatz Leipzig
Well, that certainly isn't the huge Luftwaffe Fliegerhorst and Industrieplatz at Leipzig-Mockau. Perhaps it's the dummy airfield at Leipzig-Goebschelwitz, about 2.8 km north of Leipzig-Mockau, which was possibly turned into a Feldflugplatz during the winter of 1944-45. As of 29 May 1944, L-Mockau was not known to have had any nearby satellite strips. But the most likely possibility is that the photo shows a taxiway and dispersal parking along the Autobahn which ran parallel along the north boundary of L-Mockau airfield. This would be consistent with Luftwaffe practice during the last 4 to 6 months of the war.
