Re: Airfield Reichelsheim
There's virtually no information on this Feldflugplatz. The Allies did not even identify it and the Michael Holm site has nothing on it. This tells me that it was one of the several dozen field airstrips and satellite strips set up between October 1944 and the end of the war, some of them going unused after being laid out. Aircraft were dispersed to them and concealed along the tree lines at the edge of the field, but they were not "air bases" and units were rarely ever stationed at them.
If you obtain any information on it, please post it here. Thanks.
