Celle, Germany is an old town, founded in 1292 AD, and is located on the Aller River, in Northern Germany, 30 miles NE of Hannover on the B3 highway. At the time I was stationed there, in 1962, it had a population of 50,000 to 75,000 inhabitants. Weather there leaves a lot to be desired, as there are only about 60 days of sun per year, and lots and lots of rain. The people are friendly and cordial, but also very strict and proper. They speak High-German. The German Air Base in Celle is called Wietzenbruh, located on the Southern edge of Celle, and is about the size of a small commercial airport in the US. It was established as a civilian airport a few years before the 2nd world war, becoming a German Military Air base just prior to WWII. During the war, it was home to a squadron of Messersmidt ME109s, as well as various cargo support aircraft. After the war, it found itself located at the end of one of the three air corridors into and out of, Berlin, Germany, and played a major roll during the Berlin Air Lift.
