Eger (Germany)
On 6 April 1945, four pilots ferrying He 162s from Bernburg to Lechfeld were reported missing.
They were supposed to refuel at Eger. However, I have not found any airfield by this name nor any city. Can someone help? Thanks in advance. Chris

Re: Eger (Germany)
I think it is Eger or Cheb... more details here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheb_Airport - was occupied/annexed/incorporated in the greater German Reich following the Munich Agreement, I believe.

Re: Eger (Germany)
From memory, Eger (now Cheb) was one of the cities of the Sudetenland where the Germans engineered unrest over supposed oppression of the ethnic German population, to justify their takeover in 1938.
