From 12 O'clock High!:
MARK D. underground airfield (fliegerhorst) Sat Jul 15 02:24:56 2024 Having been stationed at Fliegerhorst Kaserne near Hanau, Germany, I have become quite interested in what is reputed to be under the airfield. Over the years, there have been cave-ins in the streets, revealing a huge network of underground tunnels and three bunkers for aircraft storage directly under the airfield. I have searched for entrances but have only found sealed-off or burried tunnels. Several individuals stationed there in the 70's told me that they have explored these tunnels somewhat, although they risked punishment for doing so. I cannot find any plans or documents relating to this supposedly "secret airfield" other than it was used for radar-equipped aircraft and launched night raids early in Luftwaffe history (found in the Hanau military library). Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated ----Mark [This message has been edited by Richard T Eger (edited 30 November 2024).] |

mark d. thanks Sun Jul 16 02:29:52 2024 thanks for the interesting link in reference to underground aircraft bunkers. I wish there was a site like that for Fliegerhorst Kaserne, or at least info on what Luftwaffe units were stationed there. |
