Re: Question regarding a German airfield South Ukraine /Bessarabia
I have no entries for a TEPLITZ or TEPLITZA, the former being one of the numerous old German colonies or settlements in Bessarabia and Transnistria. The key here is knowing if we are talking about Sarata in SW Ukraine or Sarata-Galbena in Moldova. But I do have these for the SW Ukraine Sarata:
Sarata I (RUSS/UKR) (ZNr. 10-1597) (c. 46 01 N – 29 40 E) (AFHRA)
General: field airstrip (Feldflugplatz) in the former Bessarabia (today: SW Ukraine) 90 km ENE of Bolgrad (Bolhrad). History: no record found of Luftwaffe use. Surface and Dimensions: natural surface measuring approx. 2240 x 1040 meters (2450 x 1135 yards). Infrastructure: no details found. Dispersal: no details found.
Remarks: none.

Sarata II (RUSS/UKR) (ZNr. 10-1598) (c. 46 01 N – 29 40 E) (AFHRA)
