Re: Paderborn Airfields

In the 1960's I flew a few times with the Gliding Club at Paderborn from the airfield to the east of the Cement Works and was told that was the airfield where Lent crashed . In the book ''The Lent Papers'' a witness to the crash stated ''I was at the anti-aircraft gun site at the IIse works on the west of the airfield ''. Does the name of this works identify the airfield, as far as I can remember neither Bad Lippspringe or Paderborn Lippstadt had a ''works'' to the west. If the location of the IIse works in 1944 is found that should help comfirm the location.
