RAF Nordhorn
RAF Nordhorn is a bombing and gunnery range in Germany used by the Royal Air Force and other NATO air forces.
The RAF took over the range in 1945. It was transferred back to the German Luftwaffe in March 2001, though the RAF retains a presence. During the cold war, the daily flights over the town of Nordhorn were a constant reminder to the local townspeople of the ongoing struggle with the Russians that finally ended with the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989.
