Re: 1./ Versuchsverband des O.K.L. - May 1st 1945

From the satellite imagery, Uetersen looks to be a grass runway. I don't think that was impossible for jets but IIRC from "The German Jets in Combat" by Price and Ethell, concrete was preferred (the jet exhaust melted asphalt and "dug up" grass surfaces).

2./NAG 6 (Me 262) and 1.(F)/123 (Ar 234) seem to have ended the war at Schleswig and Hohn.
