The station was captured by the American forces in April 1945 and was handed over to the RAF in June 1945 as Headquarters No.

It is known that construction began in 1935 for a paratroop unit using Junkers Ju 52s then as a radar school,[1] and the station was active in 1944–45 with Junkers Ju 88 Nightfighters of 5./NJG 2 (Nachtjagdgeschwader 2) as part of the Defense of the Reich defensive aerial campaign fought by the Luftwaffe.

Legend has it that Hermann Göring used this room to relive his wartime exploits with the new generation of flyers.

An article appearing in Flight magazine in 1946 has the same story with "an elderly station commander" featuring in the Göring role.

From interviews with Luftwaffe personnel of the period, it appears that Göring visited the station before and during the war.

The 370th remained until the airfield was turned over to the RAF as part of the formation of the British occupation zone in Germany on 27 June 1945.
