Hi Piet.

thanks for the comments.

While the photo at the start of the thread is definitely at the main Fritzlar airfield, I am not convinced that all of the photos in circulation are neccessarily at the main airfield.

As mentioned, III./NJG1 had night fighters at Fritzlar-Nord (the landing ground, not the dummy airfield) throughout March 1945, and ULTRA also shows that Luftwaffe Reich ordered the installation of FuG.218 into 20 Bf110s in mid-February, with the work to be carried out by the "Workshop Fritzlar North".. Having said that, the night fighters could have transferred to the main airfield just prior to the evacuation in late March 1945, but many of the photos don't provide enough background detail to positively identify locations.

And, of course, there is the discrepancy between the Air Technical Intelligence report for Fritzlar airfield compared to the photo evidence, i.e. no Ju88s mentioned in the former, but plenty in the photographic evidence.

Cheers

Rod
