In 1945 my uncle died as POW in a camp in the Ukraine. Between June 1940 and February 1943 he was stationated at airfield Olmütz (now. Olomouc / Neredin, Czech) as engineer of Luftwaffe ground forces (Fliegerhorstkompanie Olmütz).
There is few to find in the www about Czech airfields – I only could find information at vrtulnik.cz/ww2/protektorat-olomouc.htm and ww2.dk/Airfields - Czechoslovakia.pdf .
More information about Olmütz could be in the book „Fliegerhorste und Einsatzhäfen der
Luftwaffe“ (Ries Karl, Dierich Wolfgang - Motorbuch Verlag Stuttgart, 1993). Does anyone have the book? I am interested in any information about airfield Olmütz (photos, plan’s, ec.). It would be glad pleasure if anybody could send me high resolution scans to [email protected] ?
Thank you in advance – best greeting from Austria

Re: Infos about airfield Olmütz (now Olomouc / Neredin, Czech)
Kreuzspiegel - all of the information from the two books cited below has been incorporated into my Olmütz entries on http://www.ww2.dk:
Mattiello, Gianfranco. Fliegerhorstkommandanturen und Flugplätze der deutschen Luftwaffe 1935-1945. Osnabrück: Biblio Verlag, 2000. Pb (oversize). 529p. Glossary of abbreviations. Appendix. Index.
and
Ries, Karl and Wolfgang Dierich. Fliegerhorste und Einsatzhäfen der Luftwaffe: Planskizzen 1935-1945. Stuttgart: Motorbuch Verlag, 1993. ISBN: 3-613-01486-6. Hb (oversize). Dj. 313p. Airfield map sketches.
The Ries/Dierich book has a Planskizze of Olmütz-Neredin on s.234. If no one here can copy that for you, then perhaps you can find a library that has the book. There is no Planskizze for Olomouc - Novy Sady airfield.
