Re: Which airfield?

Out of interest, is the location positively identified as the main Fritzlar airfield?

The reason I ask is because on 24 March 1945, III./NJG1 had 27 Bf110s and one Ju88 at Fritzlar-Nord, which was a few kilometres NNE of the main airfield.

The Ju88G-1 seen immediately behind G9+BT is W.Nr. 714401, which was previously 3C+FN of II./NJG4. This G-1 was collected from Gelsenkirchen by II./NJG4 in late January 1945, but struck off strength on 26 February 1945, when transferred to the "Air Ministry Works Inspectorate".

Cheers

Rod
