Re: Four extraordinary Bf 109 K-4, Hs 129 B-2 or B-3 and Go 145 Pillau-Land Fliegerhorst Spring 1945 pictures
Hi Marc,
I did some reading and in my opinion it is quite likely that the airfield depicted in the Bf 109/Hs 129 shots is either Schweidnitz (today Swidnica) or Deutsch Brod (today Havlickuv Brod). During the last two weeks of the war both airfields housed Hs 129s of SG 9 as well as JG 52 aircraft and at the same time, so these photos might have been taken during one of these days. I guess the photographer from Pillau/Putzig must have been in this area as the war came to an end. In any case he is responsible for some very rare shots of operational Luftwaffe aircraft only days before capitulation.
It is hard to tell exactly which airfield it is, as both have very similar features and surroundings. Perhaps a Polish or Czech member could help.
Regards,
Christian
