Cantina at Fliegerhorst Kiel-Holtenau

[Leidwolf]

Hi, everyone out there!

I am searching the fate of my great-grandparents. They were operating the cantina/casino of the "Fliegerhorst Kiel-Holtenau" named "Schusterkrug". Both survived the war.

Nevertheless I own some clues, that the building was bomb hit during the night of 15th/16th of April 1941.

Does anyone have any further information?
I especially miss dates concerning the construction and/or first operation of the cantina. Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot,

Leidwolf

Have you looked here?

ZAPF, Jürgen. Flugplätze der Luftwaffe 1934-1945 und was davon übrigblieb.
Band 6: Schleswig Holstein & Hamburg. ISBN 10-3866190328. Zweibrücken: Heinz Nickel Verlag, 2008. Oversize. Pb. 328p. ? photos including color photos. Maps and sketches. Euro 49,00.

The author provides a 2 or 3 page history of each airfield, often more for the larger airfields such as Kiel-Holtenau. Base construction and major attacks are usually covered.

Thanks a lot, Larry!

I'll try to get a hand on this book using an open library to save some Euros...

Best wishes,
