Bases of 22nd GvIAD in the closing weeks of the war?

Gentleman, one short question for our russian or russian-speaking members: Which airfields were used by the 22nd Gv.IAD (129 and 212 IAP, 213 Gv.IAP) in the last weeks of the Second World War? What I found are Alt-Rosenberg, Brieg, Lichtenwaldau and Freiwaldau between January 1945 and April 1945 - but were did the unit went after it left Silesia? Or did it end the war there? Any help appreciated!

Cheers,
Christian

One of the last airfields was Dabern, at least 212 GIAP was stationed there from April 23 till the end of the war.

212 GIAP and 213 GIAP left Freiwaldau on the same date, the first one going to Dabern and 213 GIАP moving to Garo (Гаро). I failed to find something similar on the modern German map.

Hi again,
just did a search and found a "Gahro" just a few kilometers NE of Dabern. Good chance that's the one you mentioned! Gahro nowadays is a part of Crinitz, Dabern of Sonnewalde.
Do you have any such info on the 129 GIAP too?

Unfortunately, no info on 129 GIAP, but I suppose it should be closer to others or on one of the above mentioned fields.
