Re: flugplatz Lemonsky

ad “Lemonsky”

There were no Soviet air regiment in such location near the border (+/- 15-100 km). Name more resamble to ex-Polish or Bialorussian, but not from Lithuania or Latvia - not such spellin which is more similar to Russian/Bialorussian one or even Polish.

Most of LW (if not all?) units had moved in the first days of Barbrossa on former Soviet's airfields. As mentioned earlier Prużana (stationary base for 33. IAP airfield + 74. SzAP of 10. SAD), or Wilno-Prubanek (42. and 237. IAP + others units) - both there were stationary airfields.

It is rather village names near the airfiled, I suppse.
I have never met on plenty ex-LW's photos taken from captured Soviet airfields such strange name.
