Question on the Bodenplatte map

[MiloMorai]

As the front line moved for the time line, how will the airfields be assigned to the Allies and Axis air forces?

[Gambit21]

According to who occupied that particular field, at that particular time.

Don't know for bodenplatte but I learned the german did paint fake explosion's holes onto the runway to make it look liked destroyed to allied eyes.

 

That's very not essential but it would be nice to see since I've never see any picture of it.

Same ploy used by the RAF during the Battle of Britain, they employed stage artists from the the west end theaters, they would paint bomb creators on large canvases and rotate them from time to time to keep the sun shadow effect right for the time of day, to give the impression that the airfield was unuseable,

  clever !!!!
