Hello!

I found this photo of a bomb strike on Furstenau airfield on the excellent site of the 303rd BG.
Considering this mission was deemed a success, with the airfield "blanketed with bombs", your positioning of the airfield on GoogleEarth is quite consistent with the main impact group on the bombing photo.

I am once again baffled by the capability of the post-war Germany to make entire airfields utterly disappear to a degree I have never seen elsewhere in Europe...look at Rheine-Hopsten for example which was a very large airbase in 1945: you will be lucky if you find even a shadowy trace somewhere in a wheat field.
The modern airbase (just closed) has a lot smaller footprint than the 1945 one and bore no correspondence whatsoever with the old one.
If one wants to visit the repository of old German airbases of WWII, go to France: from Battle of Britain forward fields to recce Ar-234 airbases in 1944 everything is still there...
