Re: German airfield to identify
There was a very small landing ground by the name of Hagen, but the landing area seems rather short for a He 111. Perhaps it was an emergency landing.
Hagen (GER) (51 21 10 N – 07 29 40 E)
General: landing ground (Landeplatz) in North Rhine – Westphalia 16 km S of Dortmund and 4 km W of Hagen. History: used for glider training during the 1930’s but by May 1943 had been abandoned and returned to cultivation. Surface and Dimensions: moorland surface measuring approx. 365 x 90 meters (400 x 100 yards).
