I agree with Olympus as to the location.

Although the airfield was known as Olmütz-Neredin by the Luftwaffe as there was also a civilian airport at Olomouc-Holici which opened in 1937. The latter closed in the late 1960s - mentioned bottom of the page here and here. Some early photos of Olomouc-Neredin are here (all these pages are in czech)

I think Bohemia and Moravia, the latter where Olomouc is located, were annexed on 15 March 1939, not 1938.

PS Just noticed Google Translate translates Olomouc-Holici into Olomouc-Shaving
