Re: Seeking ID of airfield in these two eBay photos circa June-July 1940
Hello,
Thanx for all the input. I consider this resolved as probably during the first week of July, 1940, when Balthasar was on his way to his new assignment, having just departed from the position of Sta Kap of 7./JG27 (ex 1./JG1). Gerhard's comments about taking his a/c to the new assignment, and thus explaining how it later turns up in Stab III./JG3, were very helpful for our narrative explaining Balthasar's a/c and his career.
And yes, Marc-André, I'll host you to a beer if you ever visit Boulder, Colorado (USA), right against the foot of the east slope of the Rocky Mountains, which look similar to your Swiss Alps. The difference is we still have bears and mountain lions prowling our yards all the time (except when the bears are in winter hibernation). Sometimes my wife has to chase the bears out of her flower garden.
Regards,
Larry Hickey
