Hello guys,
On 14th November 1940 a heavy storm damaged a Fi156 Storch (Werkenr. 4264) of the 2./JG 51.... in Venlo.
I am not a JG 51 historian, nor do I have any reference works about the JG 51 (if any). Therefore I would like to ask for your help to explain the presence of this Storch in Venlo. I see (
www.ww2.dk) that the I./JG 51 left Cocquelles early December 1940 for a move over Krefeld - nearby Venlo - to Mannheim-Sandhoven. Is there a connection?
Any help is appreciated: I want to check whether the prewar auxiliary Dutch landing strip at Venlo was ever used as a 'Feldflugplatz' or not.
Many thanks in advance, Marcel
