Re: Paderborn Airfields
Hallo,
I am a new member with bad english.
Paderborn is my hometown and the history of Luftpark Paderborn my hobby.
The airfield Haxterberg is not the ground of the airfield Paderborn during WW II. The Paderborn airfield during WWII was in the south of the city. Today you'll find industry-builings at that place. Some old airfield buildings are existing.
The area Auf der Lieth south/east of Paderborn was another airfield. It was called Flugplatz lieth or Ausweichhafen Dahl, because Dahl is a smal village near this airfield.
Then you'll find a Dummy-airfield near the smal village Dörenhagen.
The main airfield was lying between Paderborn, Borchen and Wewer.
Lent crashed after he was trying to land in Paderborn with a demaged engine. He died three days later in the Josefs-Hospital.
He crashed onto a field some hundred meters near the runway.
I hope I am a little help in the Promblems, with airminded regards Fitti
