Re: Valence airfield
Miscellaneous Postscript:
In June 1944, the main body of le.Flak-Abt. 741 (mot) was at Montpellier under Flak-Rgt. 85 (5. Flakbrigade), so the elements at Valence were probably no more than a single battery, and probably not even that. The Abteilung only had a total of 3 batteries. The Kommandeur was Obstlt. Hans Wulff in June 1944.
Another unit there was Flak-Mast 2/WF.
I have an 11p. Air Ministry periodic report from June 1944 entitled, Targets: Training, Headquarters, Parks, and Depots in the West, classified Top Secret that identifies about 250 locations with one or more of these installations in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. Valence is not listed. That doesn’t mean there was nothing there, but rather that there wasn’t much there.
