Re: Flak around Airfields?

Per "Me 262" Vol 3 by Smith/Creek (Classic Pubs);

"...To counter this (Allied air patrols over German airfields) the Germans surrounded the airfields with anti-aircraft guns; Rheine, for example, had 160 quadruple 20 mm cannon positioned on its east-west runway..."

Ouch!
