Leidschenveen-Ypenburg

Leidschenveen-Ypenburg (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈlɛitsə(ɱ)ˌveːn ˈipə(m)ˌbʏr(ə)x]) is a Vinex-location and district of The Hague, located in the southeast.

It consists of four quarters: Hoornwijk and Ypenburg on the southwest of the A12 motorway and parallel railway to Utrecht, and Forepark and Leidschenveen on the northeast.

German forces took over the airfield via an airborne landing, with the goal of apprehending Dutch government officials and the Queen.

The Netherlands eventually surrendered to Germany however, and the Luftwaffe made no use of the airfield during the remainder of the war.

After 1968, operations decreased significantly; the Air Base was used mainly as a VIP airport for politicians and the royal family.
