steht zum Flugplatz Steenwijk folgendes:
Steenwijk
(NETH) (a.k.a. Steenwijk-Havelte) (52 47 00 N – 06 14 10 E) General: airfield (Fliegerhorst)
30 km N of Zwolle/N Holland, 10 km NNE of Meppel, 8 km E of Steenwijk and 2 km NNW
of the village of Havelte. Rated for fighters.
History: built by the Germans in 1941 on the site of a former Dutch military Artillery range,
but not much was done until early 1943.
Dimensions: 1415 x 640 meters (1550 x 700 yards). A sizeable 915 meter (1000 yard)
N/S extension was still unfinished in Jan 45 and the work had probably been abandoned.
Surface and Runways: grass surface with 1 concrete runway measuring 1415 x 80 meters
(1550 x 90 yards) and aligned E/W. Work began in spring 1944 on a second concrete
runway aligned NNW/SSE but the project was abandoned. A perimeter track encircled the
landing area and was connect to the ends of the runway. Concrete taxiways joined the
dispersal areas to the runway and to the Steenwijk/I satellite. Equipped with permanent
runway illumination and a beam approach system.
Fuel and Ammunition: refueling loops with buried storage tanks were off the SE and SW
corners. A large ammunition dump was located 9.75 km NW of the airfield.
Infrastructure: had 1 medium hangar with a paved apron in the Northwest remote dispersal
2 km NW of the center of the airfield. The mostly destroyed or demolished shell of a
second medium hangar was just off the SE corner. The nearest rail connection was in
Steenwijk with a branch line running to the E side of the barrack area. A second branch
line was under construction in summer 1944 that was planned to service the S perimeter.
Dispersal: the 4 dispersal areas – Northeast, South, Northwest and Northwest (remote) –
had a total of 16 medium and 4 small double aircraft shelters plus 2 remote parking sites in
late Aug 44.
Defenses: no information found.
Satellites and Decoys:
Steenwijk/I(52 48 00 N – 06 14 00 E), satellite strip and dispersal area 2.5 km N
of Steenwijk landing ground. Under construction in mid-July 1944 and work still underway
in mid-September. Plans probably called for it to be connected by taxiway to the
Northwest (remote) dispersal of Steenwijk landing ground. The strip measured approx.
1100 x 55 meters (1200 x 60 yards) on a surface cleared of scrub. No infrastructure
noted.
Remarks:
15 Aug 44: low-level attack by VIII Fighter Command P-38s – claimed 4 x Bf 109s and 1 x
B-24 destroyed, plus 4 x Bf 109s and 1 x unidentified aircraft damaged.
Operational Units: none identified.
Station Commands: Fl.H.Kdtr. E 29/VI (1942 – Mar 44); Flugplatzkdo. Steenwijk of
Fl.H.Kdtr. E(v) 204/XI Twente (Apr-Aug 44); Fl.H.Kdtr. E(v) 235/XI (Sep 44 – Apr 45).
