Brand-Briesen Airfield is a redeveloped military air base located in Briesen/Brand, part of Halbe in Dahme-Spreewald, Brandenburg, Germany, about south-southeast of Berlin. Since 2004, the former CargoLifter airship hangar has been converted by a Malaysian company Tanjong into a leisure resort called ''My Tropical Island''. ==History== The airfield was built by the Luftwaffe during the expansion of the military by Nazi Germany, between 1938 and 1939. When opened it had a single runway.〔] The airfield was over run by the Red Army in May 1945, who occupied the site. From this point forward, several units of the Soviet Air Force were stationed here. After extending the runway to in the early 1950s, a emergency runway and dispersal area were also added.〔 This allowed the base to house a fighter regiment, which were equipped with the best front line air superiority aircraft. This required the construction in 1970 of 10 Hardened Aircraft Shelter (HAS), and in 1972 a second parallel main runway. In the late 1970s additional HAS's were added bringing their numbers to 24, and a nuclear alert bunker in the early 1980s.〔http://www.ronaldv.nl/abandoned/airfields/ge/Brandenburg/Dahmen.html〕 With the reunification of East Germany from 1989/1990, the Soviet Army agreed to return all military bases by the end of 1994. With the assistance of an airlift undertaken by Antonov An-22 aircraft, the airfield was handed back to the Federal Government of Germany in 1992. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brand-Briesen Airfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
