Venlo night fighter airbase WW2

The former airbase was established as a German airfield on the Groote Heide near Venlo and was named: Fliegerhorst Venlo. Between October 1940 and March 1941 The complex had two runways of 1450 meters and 1200 meters of one was equipped with the latest safety equipment, radio equipment, night lights and was expanded several times. Take off and landing runways were on Netherlands territory ( which I had no access ) the other buildings were on German territory. Fliegerhorst ran a network of roads with a total length of about 48 km between the hangars shelters, workshops, casinos, football fields and tennis fields. Between January 1943 and August 1944 there were approximately 75-100 attacks against the airbase of which a large portion of the bombs landed outside the base. On 3rd September, 1944, the base was bombed by 114 RAF aircraft and the landing and take off areas were decommissioned. The base was left on the 5th Sept by the Germans and nearly everything that was still standing was in the days after the Germans left, blown up. After the liberation of Venlo on March 1, 1945 by the Americans, the airport was from 10th March, 1945 to September 20 ,1945 used by the Americans and was called Yankee55. Nothing much left of the airbase today. However I am going to explorer of what remains of the German section .
