Hallo Freunde,
in diesem Buch:
Mattiello, Gianfranco
Fliegerhorstkommandanturen und Flugplätze der deutschen Luftwaffe 1935 - 1945
Biblio-Verlag, Osnabrück; 2000; ISBN: 3 – 7648 – 2522 – 7
ist auf Seite 262 folgender Eintrag zu finden:
Flugplatz Els b. Arnheim (NL)
06.44, in Einsatz
Bei Arnheim finde ich nur einen Ort Elst. Nun ja, gegen Schreibfehler sind wir alle nicht gefeit
Weiß jemand etwas Näheres über diesen Flugplatz? Hat er tatsächlich existiert? Und: Wurde er von der Luftwaffe genutzt?
Jede Information ist hilfreich.
MfG
Zf

Moin,
In the 30s the local government had plans to build a civil airport near Elst. This was revived in the 40s during the war. As far as I know the construction never started. After the war the plan was abandoned due to the large Airport Deelen nearby.
Maybe the field near Elst was in use as an Notlandeplätze.

Hi ErwinZ,
thanks for the hint, it look like this information by Mattiello being one of the numerous misinterpretations in his book.
Second question:
If you are from Zwolle or the region, can you tell me, if it is correct, that at least part of Nachtschlachtgruppe 20 (NSGr 20) had an operational air strip (Feldflugplatz) at Zwolle in March/April 1945, as it is stated here: http://www.ww2.dk/air/attack/nsgr20.htm ?
If that is true, can you provide info about the location?
Best Regards
Zf

Moin,
Years back I found something about an airstrip near Zwolle. Also a civil project, guess flying was booming in the 20s and 30s. Never thought it over really until now.
Preparations were made to build an airstrip near the Meppelerweg in 1932. I think it was shortly in use by some local privat jets, I'm not sure. This could have been easily been transferred into a Notlandeplatz. I'll try to find back the information.
Zwolle was liberated on April 13th so the strip would have been short lived.

Let me get back on this. I found archives on Elst and Zwolle in the Dutch archive, which I am visiting next week for my own research. There's also something on Zwolle in the local archive, I'll try to visit them in the coming days.

I checked the local archive. In '31/'32 plans were formed to create an airfield near Zwolle. Land was bought and the terrain was levelled by the Koninklijke Nederlandsche Heidemaatschappij. Due to financial troubles of the city no buildings or other facilities were raised near the field, despite complaints from the members of the already formed Aero club.
Could not find any records on flight activity. After the war it was briefly in use as an airstrip (Auster units??) but quickly transferred back to meadowland.
No mention at all of German use of the strip. Maybe in the Dutch archives.
As a bonus I found out I currently live on the airstrip
On the RAF aerial (20-4-'45) just north of the airstrip an anti-tank ditch.

In the appendix is a map of the anti-tank ditches between Zwolle and Zwartsluis.ErwinZ hat geschrieben:On the RAF aerial (20-4-'45) just north of the airstrip an anti-tank ditch.
No anti-tank ditch in the area of the airfield.
