Re: Airfileld Eutngen

Hi Rolf,

Jürgen Zapf's set of volumes on Luftwaffe airfields, namely "Flugplätze der Luftwaffe 1934-1945 - und was davon übrig blieb", is a highly-recommended resource for this kind of information.
(Of course, it also provides many more details, such as each airfield's coordinates, dimensions, surface materials, altitude, maps, wartime aerial photos, then-and-now photos, facilities, defenses, construction/development history, postwar history and current state.)

Volume 10 in the series covers the airfields in Baden-Württemberg, and Eutingen is covered on pages 120-125.

In summary, the units that were based at Eutingen from 1939 to 1944 were:
  • I./JG 51 (except for the 3. Staffel): 1 Sep - 23 Sep 1939
  • 3./JG 51: Late Sep - 1 Nov 1939
  • Jagdgruppe 176: Middle Oct 1939 - 2 Jan 1940
  • II./JG 51: 28 Oct 1939 - 1 Jan 1940
  • II./JG 54: Late Mar - 28 May 1940
  • III./KG 55: 24 May - 23 Jun 1940
  • Flugzeugführerschule C 15: 28 Sep 1940 - 14 Jan 1943
  • Flugzeugführerschule A/B 112 (later redesignated as Flugzeugführerschule A 112): 17 Oct 1941 - 17 Dec 1944
