The Army destroyed Gutersloh. It could be said that I have spent a day or two there, and when I revisited in 2001 I was appalled at what grunt mentality had done to this once important Airhead/VSTOL/SH base.
The businessman is probably Bertelsmann of Book / CD / Music money who owns a large bit of stadt Gutersloh, but who also was never given permission to build a civil apron on the other side of the River Emms (via a bridge) despite having the financial backing to complete the task (and the support of the stadthaus)
Happy days ~ A disgrace that the Army readers should be ashamed of, hell they even filled in the swimming pool!
