Description

Introduction

Building 60 stands detached and somewhat set back in a wooded environment, roughly to the northeast of 61, on the north side of a straight axis running east on Groot-Heidekamp. The roof ridge runs from south to north and is perpendicular to the road. Building 60 is a military building created in 1940-1941 as a 'Regelbau' and is at macro level part of a large military airfield structure from the years 1940-1945, at meso level of a sparse complex of buildings arranged in a dispersed hamlet-like configuration, and within this at micro level of a series of buildings positioned in loose linear arrangement.
