Airborne shot of the Hohenkirchen Nike Missile Site and thanks to research by Maurice Parker, a map showing its location about 10 miles North of Jever Airfield - 1969.   Art tells me that the first bunker contained the Nike Missile with the Nuclear warhead.   The other two presumably having conventional warheads.   It reminded me of the story of the day when the US Army had folded up the Nike Missile detachment and wanted to move out all the nuclear warheads from their storage site on the South side of the Jever airfield.   There was a rail spur which crossed just before the threshold of the eastern end of the runway and continued behind the hangars to the South-West corner of the airfield.   In our day it was used for loading the heavy equipment for the Sylt detachments.   Latterly it was disused and neglected until there came a need to remove the nuclear warheads from their storage bunkers in the South-West corner of the airfield.   The train was duly loaded but there was apparently considerable concern that the old track would be forced apart with the weight of the loaded railway trucks and cause a derailment and a possible nuclear spill.   However, the train was gently moved out over the old line and successfully made it to the well maintained exit line in the North East corner of the airfield.   Art tells us: "Yes the missile site was in Hohenkirchen about 1 mile from the North Sea.   We worked with the German 26 Flakbtln.   They were also on the Fliegerhorst    I remember hearing stories about how the fliegerhorst was never bombed.   One of the Stov workers spoke perfect English.   He was a pilot during the war and said he flew out of Jever.   He said he was shot down over England and spent some time in a POW camp.   I spoke to a lot of Germans who were in the war and was interested in their stories as my Dad was also in the war.   I heard the RAF were in our barracks at one time also the Germans.   I think it was to be razed but then the army moved in.   It was constant upkeep and the Stov workers did a great job.   Our officers hated it but we didn't mind, It had a great Canteen and many Germans used to come in and we had a great time.   We used to hang out at a Disco called Pepetas."   (Thanks to Art Wuolle.)
