Is Heilbronn near those locations?

Hi

there is a Heilbronn (postcode 74xxx) so 70km (ca. 43 miles) far from Heidelberg. But there is a other Heilbronn in Bayern too (postcode 915xxx) so 160km far from Heidelberg.

Well that is actually Heilsbronn, postcode 91560 and, as mentioned, not anywhere close to Heidelberg.
Let's see what this forum can come up with. Do you know which 'Geschwader' he belonged to, Klaus?

Hello,
i have no idea what Geschwader but one of the Eyewithness told the pilot try to fly to Philippsburg or Biblis airfield.
Regards

Hm don´t believe that, b´cause Biblis Airfield was since march 26th in american hands.
