German airfields south of Cracow

Hello!

Do you have any information about two airfields south and southeast of Cracow?
I heard it existed, but I didn’t see any documents about it.

Airfield in Marszowice / Niegowic area
28 km SE of Cracow, 49.9167 N / 20.2333 E
Built-up ca. 1943-44 (hardening of airstrip), but its finishing is uncertain.
It was ca. 1100 (east-west) x 600 meters in size.

Airfield in Stroza, close to Myslenice
31 km S of Cracow, 49.7918 N / 19.9276 E
Organized on a meadow in narrow Raba valley in mid-1943, the personnel (20-30) lived in a manor house and . Its commander (probably Major) was killed by partisans in summer 1944 (?). Small planes landed here and stayed few hours or even 5-7 days. No AAA. Evacuated in January 1945.
It was ca. 420 m (southeast-northwest) x 140 m and was available rather for STOL planes like Fi-156.
Photo of the area (1930s) is here (airfield was behind the buildings marked X, personnel quarters are pointed by the arrow).

That’s all I know. Any additional information is welcome.

Best regards,
Piotr
