Airfields of the Luftwaffe

[sidney]

Hello Larry,

Not sure whether of any interest, but just found a reference on eBay here https://www.ebay.de/itm/Original-Fot...YAAOSwLMZfZ6Qe to a forward air strip, Feldflugplatz, Wereteni (Vereteni), apparently in Pskov region.

The photo shows Stab/JG 54 aircraft getting ready for a mission in July 1941.

Regards,
Sinisa

Help always welcome, but I could not find this one in my files and piles of maps, gazetteers, lists, etc. I suspect it was a pasture or farm field that was pressed into service for a few days during the July 1941 advance toward Pskov and then abandoned. I also think it may be misspelled and the "teni" ending makes it more likely to have been in Estonia or Latvia.

Thanks,
