Answer found - Historical WW2 Airfield Bergen op Zoom existing or identical with Woensdrecht?

[kraut1]

Hi,

For some ww2 german fighter units I read that they were for some time in "Bergen op Zoom".

Was that the same airfield as Woensdrecht?

Or was there another old historical airfield "Bergen op Zoom"?

If yes I am interested about the location.

Maybe I will try to create it for mission design, but only if location is northern of the City of Bergen op Zoom.

Answer found in: https://ww2.dk/Airfields - Netherlands.pdf

by Henry L. deZeng IV: ....Woensdrecht (NETH) (a.k.a. Bergen op Zoom, Hoogerheide, Huijbergen)...

It is the same Airfield as Woensdrecht.

I will keep the selfmade Bergen op Zoom airfield as an auxiliarary airfield.

 

Later: For mission design / intercept missions I have defined a "Feldflugplatz" north west of the City.
