Audembert airfield was a German airfield 230 kilometers north of Paris.
It was a Feldflugplatz (wartime airfield) of the Luftwaffe during World War II, but it probably existed already before the outbreack of World War II. It was located close to a mile from the English Channel. Due to its location, it was the closest airfield to England, and therefore one of the most important fighter airfields during the Battle of Britain. In the summer of 1940, the airfield was used by I./JG26 'Schlageter', flying Bf109Fs. Jagdgeschwader 26 'Schlageter' was the unit of Adolf Galland, a German fighter ace, who later that year was promoted to command the entire Jagdgeschwader. After the Battle of Britain, the airfield remained a Luftwaffe unit.The field consisted of a single surfaced runway, some taxi tracks and hangars. The Luftwaffe continued to use the airfield until the Normandy invasion in 1944.
After the area was taken over by the Allies in late 1944 however, it was returned to farmland after the war and is still that today.
