Mulhouse-Habsheim

Hello,

I draft a book on the aerodrome of Mulhouse-Habsheim.
I wish to know if you have information over the period of the Second World War and the German presence?

Thank you

If you look at the thread at the top of this page, "Airfields of the Luftwaffe", you will see that information on French airfields will be appearing soon.

Re: Mulhouse-Habsheim

Nach der deutschen Besetzung 1940 gehörte der Platz zunächst zum Luftgau VII München.

Im Verzeichnis der baulichen Anlagen der Luftwaffe vom 29. November 1940 wird er unter der laufenden Nummer E 39 mit folgenden Angaben geführt: E-Hafen II. Ordnung, als Friedensstandort vorgesehen.

Er unterstand dem Kommando Flughafenbereich 6/VII Straßburg und soll von 08.43 - 06.44 in Einsatz mit Tarn-Nr. 757 gewesen sein.
