Re: flugplatz Lemonsky
Hi Pawel and wit661owl -
No disagreement with your analysis. However, I would add one additional comment. Many airfields used two names, the first for the principal city or town that it was closest to, followed by a dash and the second name that usually (but not always) designated a village or suburb on the outskirts of the city or town. This was usually done when a city or town had more than one airfield. Here is an example from the September 1943 edition of Übersicht d. SU Flugplätze:
Slonim-Derewiantschyze - Ziel-Nr. 784, 140 km E of Białystok, Einsatzhafen, 615 x 890 meters.
Slonim-Zyrowize - Ziel-Nr. 1610, 140 km E of Białystok, Landeplatz, (no measurements).
“Lemonsky” is not to be found in the Übersicht, which lists some 10,000 Ostfront airfields. So it could be an improvised Feldflugplatz that was only used for a week or two, or it may be the second name of a two-name airfield, for example, Pružana-Lemonsky or similar.
Anyway, neither of us can find it so it will probably always be a mystery.
