Re: When was the airfield Zerbst captured by the Allieds?
Zerbst bombed into ruins on 16 April (town 80% destroyed) and surrendered to the Americans on 28 April. On the same date, Fliegerhorst Zerbst was captured by elements of the U.S. 83rd Infantry Division.The Americans turned it over to forces of the Soviet 33rd Army in May.

The unit still there may have been I./KG(J) 54 (Mar-Apr 45).
