Documentation on what was based where during the Cold War

[Agg]

Long story short, I like to create "free flight" missions with populated air bases and airports to at least give me the illusion of the world being alive - but I'm having some difficulties finding out what was based where in East Germany. West Germany seems to be well documented, but for the East I'm finding a lot of conflicting accounts on what was based where.

If anyone know of a reputable source for what aircraft were based at what air base in Eastern Germany I'd be very happy if you could share it.

I like to use https://scramble.nl as a source for my own missions. They also have an ORBAT for the East German Air Force: https://scramble.nl/planning/orbats/east-germany/east-german-forces-historical-orbat

While that's quite a reliable source in my experience, I still tend to cross check it with other sources. The German Wikipedia offers a lot of information on the East German Air Force and their structure. There's an article for each of its squadrons, so maybe that also helps if you run it through a translator:

scamble.nl gives a 403 error. 

I've been using this site: https://www.mil-airfields.de/countries.html#DE

However it can sometime be thin on what units are based where during which time frame. A lot of it seems to be focused on MiG-15/-17 era.
