I'm going to the National Archives this weekend - I can probably get you maps and/or aerial photos of those airfields. Any others you want me to look for whilst I'm there?

I presume it is this map you are looking for http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,11391.msg134698.html#msg134698

Main maps I plan to release :
1- Ardennes battle 1944 (possible scenario for Bodenplatte)
2- Blitzkrieg 1940

Map also covers Operation Market Garden.

A map of the Ardennes-Cambrai area (1940) was included in HSFX4.1 and has been used in more than one campaign subsequently published.

Drop me a PM if you have any further problems with it.

Trier Euren Airfield Today:
Runway is visible, left to right at the middle. Taxi runway at the right.



And there were 2 fields at Wesel:

"So many Gruppen were brought in that three Staffel (squadrons) of JG27 had to temporarily relocate to the glider fields at Wesel (Wesel-West and Wesel-Flüren)."

Thx MrOblongo !

The problem with modern photos is that it may be an allied cold war configuration...
Anyway if nothing else is found, I may use this one ;) (same problem with a lot of other airfields I found, using Google Earth)

(I already knew about Wesel. I previously choosed Wesel West because it was at the limit of the original Asheshouse's map... and when it was extended, it stayed the same)
