Transportstaffel at Eelde airfield?

[Jaap Woortman]

Dear friends,

During October, November 1944 Heinkel He 111's have made several flights from Eelde airfield near Groningen in the Netherlands.
Eelde airfield was what the Germans called a "Feldflugplatz".
Only grass and no concrete runways.
It is not known to us from which unit these planes were.
According to me, there is only one possibility and that is a Staffel from Transportgruppe 30 (TGr. 30).
At October 25th, 1944 a He 111 with WNr. 700690 of 3./TGr 30 has made a crashlanding near Uden in the Netherlands.

I do not think that these Heinkel He 111's were from a unit of KG 53. Although several units of this Geschwader were stationed at airfields in North-West Germany. There were no precautions taken at Eelde airfield for V-1's.

Who knows something about the dislocations of Transportgruppe 30 during this period? We would be very grateful for any piece of information.
