Whow,Whow,Whow, Calm down, take a breath...
Flaming is one thing, that's your personal point of view.
What or where should be "Leipzig airfield" related to this post, referring to the original post? Leipzig is big and you should know that and be more precise.

Back to the post: Halle related airfields (pre 1945) are

1. "Opin airfield" north-west outside Halle in the Saalkreis county, never considered with Halle in that way (was used mainly for Sailglidetraining units, even today only small gliders and prop civil machines use this field).

2. "Siebel facility airfield" in Halle. What I consider the much better and proper airfield belonging to Siebelwerke A.G. in the northern part of Halle/Frohe Zukunft. This particular unit seemed to use this airfield, as Opin had no logistics and strategic military meaning only civil and gliding. As Siebel produced the Siebel Si 204 and Si 202 "Hummel", Heinkel He 46, [color=orange]Focke-Wulf Fw 44

The actual aircraft was far less interesting looking.

It was Black 3 W.Nr600442 of 6./Jg6

It had the standard Feiseler finish of RLM 82/83 with an RLM 81 power egg with white spiraled spinner, small fuselage cross with solid back under wing crosses.
Is wings were RLM 83 over 76 as in the above skin but the fuselage sides were standard RLM76 with a creme under cowling instead of yellow.

The over painted code was '17' the painted area masked closely to the olde codes and its easy to see the shape of the 17
