Location of Baden airfield, near River Dnestr (Eastern Front)?

[Dénes Bernád]

Does anyone know where was Baden airfield located? I know it was on the left shore of River Dnestr, in the Trans-Dnestra Region, close to another airfield, called Salz.

Which Luftwaffe units were stationed there in the Summer/Autumn of 1941?

I-16s of the Soviet 69 IAP (Fighter Regiment) attacked it on 22 September 1941, and reportedly destroyed more than a dozen aircraft on the ground.

Thanks,

Thank you, Eugen, for the map.
Unfortunately, the size is too small, I cannot read it.
Is Baden listed? It should be very close to Salz ('Zeltsy' in transliterated Russian).

Could you zoom in into the bottom right corner, the area covering Odessa and the Dnestr area? It would be fairly urgent, as I need the info for a book I am currently working on.
Thanks.

That's it, Pawel. Thanks.

Now if I would only know the position of Baden related to Salz, in the vicinity, so I can do an accurate map...

I should have known about this AF before... it will not be on the Bessarabia-map for the simulator IL-2 .

Or is it maybe the same as "Saltz-AF"? This wone we have. I know a picture, which basically shows a row of Bf109Emils semi-hidden in a hedge...
