Re: Where is the Ortasli-See?
Ortaeli or Ortasli (UKR/Crimea) (e. same?) (c. 45 10 N – 36 23 E)
General: seaplane base in E Crimea 22 km SSW of Kerch on a salt water lagoon just inland from the Kerch Strait.
Operational Units: part of 8. Seenotstaffel (Sep 42 – Oct 43); 2. Seetransportstaffel (Mar – Oct 43).
Station Commands: Fl.H.Kdtr. E See 126/XI (Jul 42 – Oct 43).
Station Units (on various dates – not complete): Seenotkdo. 18 (Sep 42 – Oct 43); 101. Flugh.Betr.Kp. (Qu) ( ? – Mar 43).
If you look at these coordinates on Google Earth, it appears that this salt lake has disappeared - evaporated into thin air. But at least you can see where it was.
