Luftwaffe Unit/Airfield Question.

[stgeorge64]

I am in the process of starting to research a recent addition to my collection in the form of a Luftwaffe Soldbuch and want to ask the question:

Does anyone have any knowledge of Fliegerhorst-Kommandantur E 69/XI in Coulommiers, France, which was subsequently renamed Fliegerhorst-Kommandantur E (v) 211/XII ?

Any help at all as to the function of this airfield/unit will be very well received.

Thank you in anticipation.

Regards Richard.

I now understand that Coulommiers in France was used by Nachtjagdgeschwader 2 up until July 1944.

Can anyone shed any light as to the exact function of this airfield/unit? Was this a maintenance unit for NJG2 for example?

All help will be very well received indeed.

Regards Richard.

The "Fliegerhorst-Kommandantur" was the headquaters of the airfield.

The Bundesarchiv/Militärarchiv Freiburg has a file/signature RL 21/153 dealing with the airfield Coulommiers (1942) with aerial photographs, maps, plans from this a/f.
