I would say, all these airfields except Agrinion were temporary, used after the half of April 1941 for a very short time.

a quick answer

for ex. I./St.G. 1 and Stab, II and III./JG 27 used Ptolemais during the period 17.04.41-00.05.41, or 4./Aufkl.St. (F) 22

Agrinion 06.43-09.43 3./N.A.Gr. 2

the right name is Wassiliki. The place is nearby meteora, a very impressive landscape of central Greece

I have as Kdr. of Verb.Kdo. S2 (DFS) Hptm...... Frömert (10.1942)
Can anyone of our specialists verify that?

[Larry deZeng]

FRÖMERT, ? . c.07.42 Hptm., Kdr. VK(S) 2 (still 11.42).

In all the thousands and thousands of pages of Luftwaffenpersonalamt documents, other Luftwaffe documents plus hundreds and hundreds of books, I have never seen his name mentioned again. That suggests that he may have been wounded later or fallen ill and was removed from active duty.

Hi Larry,

this is most certainly Hptm Herbert Frömert. In June - November 42 he has many entries in his Flugbuch with Grottaglie, Lecce, Derna, Tobruk, Catania, St Piedro, Kalamaki flying different aircraft types such as Me110, He111, Bf108, Ju87, Ju52. For example on 17.09.42 at Lecce he made a "Schleppflug" with Ju87 "PP+UN" which was towed to a newly assembled DFS230. Hptm Frömert survived the war. His last assignment was with II. JG400 as Ia Einsatzoffizier

Hope that helps, Karl

very interesting new infos Karl, thanks

[Larry deZeng]

Thanks for that, Karl. It fills in a key gap in our records and, of course, it is good to learn that he survived the war and was not wounded or injured.
