Re: Which airfield?

Hi Marcel,

thanks for the reply.

I do know for sure that the 9th Armored Division captured the main Fritzlar airfield on the afternoon of 30 March 1945, but the Air Technical Intelligence report for Fritzlar doesn't mention the presence of any captured Ju88s, as seen in photos. Although III./NJG1 had aircraft at Fritzlar-Nord, many were at the main airfield on 30 March.

As you point out there are many Fritzlar photos showing the very flat airfield area, but the photo in this thread shows hilly terrain. Thus, I was wondering if some photos actual show Fritzlar-Nord.

Cheers

Rod
