Paderborn Airfields

Yes, a came across the name Nordbochen. But there are two or three districts in Paderborn ending with a -borchen. They all have websites and only one mentions a airfield and that was not the website of Nordborchen.

I am just collecting infos about Lent for a report and have simply no idea who Lent was. Before i write a single word i try to find some simple basics about Lent and his live. The most important two questions are: Was Lent he a nazi and was he - like Mölders - involved in war crimes. This is very important to know for the german public.

The Lent papers: Getting my hands on this book is a problem. Seems to be sold out. Me was told that this book was written by a non historian and it is more the kind of a typically american style book with lots of kc pics and - most important - details about the kills. Not very serious then. From a russian board i red that the kill list is wrong, but who can verify that? Could be possible that some of the kills are based on fake stories similar to the Hermann Göring shots.

Yes i red the wiki entry. BUT it is a wiki. Everybody can delete, write and again delete wiki entries. And as you can see, the info in your quote is incorrect. I have also red the german wiki about Lent which is not worth the reading. It is kiddy. If you can read german, try the talk page and you have fun. Both wikis allude Paderborn. But Paderborn is a large town and there have been two or three airfields and i must note that nobody of the professional (???) researcher tried to find the airfield were Lent crashes. They not even asked Mr. Jabs.

The most idiotic thing to me is that my grandpa was a member of the NJG 3 and he met Lent a few times. But i never asked him about Lent. Now he is dead. Nice mess!
