Gardelegen Airfield is a former military airfield, located 5.0 km east of Gardelegen in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. ==History== Gardelgen Airfield was built in the late 1930s as a Luftwaffe airfield. Its history is undetermined during World War II. It is known that on 23 January 1945 a severe accident happened when a Ju88 broke up during takeoff and crashed into a building, killing 4 in the ensuing fire. The Americans moved into the area in late April 1945, It was used for casualty evacuation and battlefield supply by IX Air Service Command briefly before the German Capitulation on 8 May. The Americans withdrew from the area in July 1945 and the airfield was taken over by the Soviet Red Army as part of the Soviet Occupation Zone of Germany. After the war the local inhabitants stripped the buildings to rebuild their own homes. Not much is known about the postwar years, except that it was used as an exercise area for the Soviet Army. Today the former airfield is an industrial area at the location, aptly called "Industriegebiet Fliegerhorst". The old airfield headquarters building was torn down in 2009; nothing remains of the airfield. 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「Gardelegen Airfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
