Re: Flugplatz Krassilina

Hi,

I found some data on the web here https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=237023. Format-wise, the info below looks like taken from Henry L. de Zeng's work http://www.ww2.dk/lwairfields.html, although apparently the former USSR has not been covered yet.

Krassilina (RUSS) (a.k.a. Krasilina, Krissilino, Krisilino) (ZNr. 10-7680?) (c. 54 19 N – 34 01 E).
General: landing ground (Landeplatz) in W Russia and, if spelled Krisilino, 87 km NE of Roslavl and 9.25 km S of Spas-Demensk. It is believed “Krassilina” is a misspelling of “Krisilino”. History: no information found prior to the end of 1941. Used by Luftwaffe as a forward field for single-engine aircraft during the first half of 1942. Surface and Dimensions: natural surface of unstated dimensions. Infrastructure: no details found. Dispersal: no details found.
Remarks:
Apr 42: listed as being under Koflug 21/XI ( Seshchinskaya).
25 May 42: bombed – 1 x W 34 from Kurierstaffel 11 destroyed on the ground.
31 May 42: bombed – 1 x Ju 87 B-1 from II./St.G. 1 badly damaged on the ground.
Operational Units: none identified.
Station Commands: none identified.
Station Units (on various dates – not complete): Trsp.Kol. d.Lw. 6/IV (May 42).
