Here is what I have on Stargard - hopefully, you have some additional information for me?

Stargard (GER/POL) (a.k.a. Stargard-Klützow, Stargard Szczecinski) (53 17 15 N – 14 59 25 E)
General: operational airfield (Einsatzhafen) in Pomerania 32.5 km ESE of Stettin (Szczecin), 7-8 km SSW of Stargard and 2 km SW of the village of Klützow.
History: built 1934-36 and inaugurated as a Lw. Fliegerhorstkommandantur by 1 October 1936. Served as a pre-war and wartime station for the formation and training of tactical reconnaissance units, and as a school for elementary and instrument flight training. Used by operational units during the Sep 39 attack on Poland and again during the last few months of the war.
Dimensions: approx. 1100 x 1190 meters (1200 x 1300 yards) and roughly circular in shape.
Surface and Runways: grass surface. Had one prepared strip measuring 1550 meters (1700 yards) aligned NW/SE. A perimeter road encircled the landing area. Equipped with boundary and obstruction lighting, flare path, beam approach system and a visual Lorenz system for night landings.
Fuel and Ammunition: there were 2 groups of refueling points on the N side of the landing area and 2 more groups on the S side. A small ammunition store was on the W boundary and a large ammunition dump 5 km to the N.
Infrastructure: had 7 medium hangars and 1 very large repair hangar along the N and NE sides of the field, all of which were fronted with paved aprons. Separate workshop buildings were concealed in a woods adjacent to the hangars. The station motor pool and garages were off the NE corner near the repair hangar. The airfield HQ, admin buildings, barracks, messes, quarters, etc., were all in a group off the NE boundary. A branch rail line from Stargard served the hangar and building areas on the N and NE sides as well as the ammunition storage site on the W boundary.
Dispersal: aircraft were dispersed in a small grove of trees about 1 km off the SE corner and on the perimeter at the SW corner. There were a total of at least 5 small covered aircraft shelters in Oct 44.
Defenses: unknown.
