But also the IWM is incorrect sometimes, location of the last photo is Faßberg. Schmarbeck is a very small village just south of this airfield.

They were probably correct in that the aircraft were in a dispersal area and the British used the name of the nearest village. The IWM photo of the II./JG 26 Fw 190 "blue 6 + —" is captioned Steen-Ockerzeel, a village at the north-eastern corner of Brussels-Melsbroek aerodrome.
