Exactly. I believe this is a double typo and it should be Schwarmstadt-Alsfeld instead. And if this is so, it puts Bauer right where Holliday and Piel came down. Since Piel is from the same Staffel, this seems highly likely to be correct. There are a lot of German towns with similar or exactly the same names, and typos are common too. For example there is more than one Windhausen - the one Piel came down is only a tiny village and barely shows up on the map.
