Airfields Dieppe, Brachy, Bertreville in France
Hello,
I have a 1941 German map of the Lower Seine in France which mentions the following airfields : - Dieppe, - Brachy, - Bertreville Saint Ouen (or perhaps Auppegard). Do you have any information other than that of "Luftwaffe Airfields 1935-45 France"? Thank you in advance for your answers. Best regards, Francois |

Re: Airfields Dieppe, Brachy, Bertreville in France
The raw and complete wartime records of A.I.2.(b)/British Air Ministry would have lots and lots of information about them, but I am afraid these raw notes and inter-office memos were purged between 1946 and 1948 and no longer exist because they were not considered permanent records.
Kommando Flughafenbereich 19/XI The 1940 to March 1944 records of this Koflug survived the war and today can be found at the Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv in Freiburg under Signaturen RL 20/95-110. These 16 folders will include unique details about your 3 airfields that will not be found elsewhere. Fliegerhorstkommandantur E 2/I Formed spring 1940 at Fp. Schippenbeil in East Prussia by renaming Fl.H.Kdtr. E Schippenbeil. 1941-44: Dieppe area NE France and remained there until re-designated in April 1944. Under Koflug 19/XI (Beauvais). The Fl.H.Kdtr. was located at Paluel/34 km WSW of Dieppe for all or most of the time. It is said to have maintained Platzkommandos at St-Aubin/4 km S of Dieppe, Brachy/15.7 km SW of Dieppe, Bertreville/40 km WSW of Dieppe, Le Bois Robert (not located), Méneslies/32.7 km ENE of Dieppe, Intraville/14.5 km E of Dieppe, Derchigny/9.8 km E of Dieppe, and Baromesnil/24.6 km ENE of Dieppe. Most of these were emergency landing grounds or dispersal airfields. Apr 44: renamed Fl.H.Kdtr. E(v) 227/XI Platzkdo. Paluel (FpN changed 1 Jun 44). FpN: (L 07201) Kommandant: Maj. Erich Spindler (3 Sep 42 - Jan 44?) Oberst Rudolf Sauter (27 Jan 44 - Apr 44?) L. |

Re: Airfields Dieppe, Brachy, Bertreville in France
Good evening Larry,
Thanks a lot for all these informations. Not speaking German, I'm not familiar with German abbreviations. - Dieppe The aerodrome is called Dieppe - Saint Aubin. It was used by the Lufwaffe. - Bertreville Saint Ouen I'll make a correction about this land. It was located 15km from Dieppe in the SSW. Grassland had been requisitioned by the occupants to make it a relief ground. It would never have been used. According to the contact I have, the pastures were located in the town of Auppegard, bordering Bertreville Saint Ouen. I have no other information. - Brachy Brachy (Lufwaffe name) or Bacqueville en Caux (French Air Force name) Land created by the French Air Force in December 1939 and used by the Luftwaffe from mid-June 1940 - July 1940. It was located 16km from Dieppe in the SW. I have no information on the aircraft that were based there and until when, but there were pilots as they went down to a bar in the village of Hermanville. There was a gas tank. It was still guarded in 1943. - Le Bois Robert It was the private land of a pilot who had fought in the First World War. The occupying army would have turned it into a fictitious airfield. It was located 12km from Dieppe in the SSE. - Derchigny and Intraville I currently have no information on these two sites. - Quiberville sur Mer It was a Flak school. I don't know if there were any planes that were based to tow the targets and the type of planes. Best regards, Francois |
