Re: flugplatz GOLZHEIM info wanted

Golzheim was just a cow pasture SW of Köln that had been professionally drained so single-engine aircraft could use it. It was used briefly as a dispersal (Ausweichflugplatz) in early May 1940 for the attack on France and the Low Countries. It is never mentioned again until February-March 1945 when a few stray aircraft seem to have used it for a few days. It had no buildings, no fuel tanks, no services, no Kdtr., no nothing. I do not recall what unit staged through Golzheim in May 1940, it was only there for a few days.
