Re: flugplatz GOLZHEIM info wanted
Philippe -
This will answer your PM.
I./St.G. 2 was based at Golzheim off and on from October 1939 to 15 May 1940. It also used Marburg, Hildesheim and Köln-Ostheim during the same period. It used Golzheim as its forward dispersal strip and it was from there that it launched its attack on the Belgian fortress at Eben-Emael and nearby Belgian reserves in the early morning hours of 10 May. On 10 May it had 40(33) Ju 87Bs and was under VIII. Fliegerkorps/Luftflotte 2. On that date Golzheim was being temporarily serviced by Fl.H.Kdtr. E 61/XI, a specially motorized Fliegerhorstkommandantur originally established at Ichel and assigned to VIII. Fliegerkorps to move forward quickly to set up airfields and services (fuel and ammo) for Stuka units. It departed Golzheim on 14 May and moved forward to Anse and by 16 July 1940 was at Flers.
