Re: Stab. and I.KG 2 were based in "Silce" , but where is the airfield ?

Postscript:

A large folding map from the Jochen Prien multi-volume series on the Jagdwaffe shows a Sloboda airfield 70 km E of Minsk city center and 4 km NNE of the town of Ravanichy. That's only approximate because I don't know how accurately the map in the book was drawn. Anyway, Stab/JG 27, III./JG 27, II./JG 52 and III./JG 53 were at Sloboda between 3 and 7 July 1941. This is the only "Sloboda" shown on the map that was being used by the Luftwaffe in July 1941.
