Transportstaffel at Eelde airfield?
Dear friends,
During October, November 1944 Heinkel He 111's have made several flights from Eelde airfield near Groningen in the Netherlands.
Eelde airfield was what the Germans called a "Feldflugplatz".
Only grass and no concrete runways.
It is not known to us from which unit these planes were.
According to me, there is only one possibility and that is a Staffel from Transportgruppe 30 (TGr. 30).
At October 25th, 1944 a He 111 with WNr. 700690 of 3./TGr 30 has made a crashlanding near Uden in the Netherlands.
I do not think that these Heinkel He 111's were from a unit of KG 53. Although several units of this Geschwader were stationed at airfields in North-West Germany. There were no precautions taken at Eelde airfield for V-1's.
Who knows something about the dislocations of Transportgruppe 30 during this period? We would be very grateful for any piece of information.
