Rossosch, Russia

Multimap... its ok, i see map with google heart

The airfield in question is undoubtedly:

Rossosch (in German but Rossosh in English).– Located 110 km SE of Smolensk. Classed as a Feldflugplatz (Ffp.) and assigned target number (Ziel Nr. 3975). Located in Meldquadrant. 44242.

There was only airfield by this name on the eastern front

This comes from Larry deZeng’s compilation of airfields in:

“Airfield Directory Russia and Eastern Europe 1938-1945” with some 1200 airfields identified.



As for what units occupied it and when, that would take a long time to extract so I leave it to others.....

Doug, have you got the ISBN of the above book, or is it unpublished.

Best Regards

Oops! I should have mention that this is not published yet. Perhaps it will find its way into an Appendix of a future book.

Sorry about that.

It sonds an interesting project.
BTW I sent some details to Larry few years ago about Rossosch (especially about the ground battles around it and about the evacution of the airfield in January, 1943)

Very interesting...

Re.2000, CR.32, CR.42, Caproni Ca.135, Bf-109, Me.410

Fabio,

Only the Bf 109F-4's were operated by Hungarians from Rossosch (and they used the Me 210, not 410 during the war and the Ca.135 was a very bad aircraft but it is off topic here)

[Fabio RAF]

Thanks Csaba, i agree...
Then we have:
G52 with Bf109 G2
II./Sch.G.1 with FW190
Stab/KG27 and I./KG27 with He111
Hungarian Air Force with Bf109 F4

ok, thanks all for the info.

Ciao Fabio

Sorry about that.

No problem, certainly something watch out for.
