guys : I need your map talents again. Would like some of you to investigate for me and possibly show through internet maps the following areas of Flügplatz(air fields) of I./NJG 100 during 1945. having problems find a couple on my maps.... Prowehren in December 44 to middle of January 45. Vietzkersstrand in February to mid-March 45. and Griefswald from end of March to April of 45. thanks gents ! doing some special studies on the unit for a couple of seekers. ~E
Arg ! my CT fingers....... should be as follows, Vietzkerstrand Greifswald these maybe in Ost Preussia ? Danke Schön ~E
big bump ! any help would be most appreciated......any good internet maps showing these areas of interest ? ~E
www.multimap.com Greifswald - about 25 km West of Peenemunde, om the German North coast. http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?X=1500000&Y=7150000&width=500&height=300&client=public&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=mercator&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=greifswald&pc=&advanced=&sc ale=500000 Couldn't find anything on Vietzkerstrand, but it sounds like it should be near the coast too, because of the -strand bit....Which means beach in Dutch and German?
Thanks again my friend. The other two maybe in West or East Prussia or now in the present day Poland. I./NJG 100 served in tackling both RAF bombers and the Soviet harrassment and recon bombers in 1945 so they were very much over extended and weary but did have successes >E
Vietzkerstrand: Ab Kriegsende März 1945 marschierten die russischen Truppen ein, die bis Mitte 1945 auf dem ehemaligen Fliegerhorst stationiert waren und dann durch die polnische Bevölkerung abgelöst wurden. Unter deren Kommando bleiben die einheimischen deutschen Bewohner bis Juli 1947 in ihrem Heimatort und wurden dann ausgewiesen It is in nowadays Poland, I believe. More details, also on location @ http://www.schlawe.de/gemeinden/vietzkerstrand/ I believe this is also about this Fliegerhorst: http://www.stolp.de/Stolp-Stadt/Flugplaetze/stolper-heimatblatt1954.htm Also of interest: http://www.stolp.de/Stolp-Stadt/Flugplaetze/luftfahrtgeschichte-stolp.htm prowehren: Lies near konigsberg, the former capital of Prussia. Couldn't find a site which clearly states the exact location.
Thanks bud ! I had bookmarked over the weekend the first link. The second one posted is great..... Prowehren maybe familiar to my Ostpreussen friend's Helmuth and Ruth as she was born very close to Königsberg will advise with more info I hope. ~E
