RAPA Pilot

Hi all,
I am a Jump pilot flying out of Bad Lippspringe in Germany for the British Army. I would like to find out a little more about the airfield I am flying out of. There are many earth workings and old blast pens scattered amoung the woods. Indeed whilst walking the dog I found a clip of rifle rounds that I have identified as 7.92mm.
The rim is marked 43 and DEN. So the year of manufacture is 1943 but I have not been able to ident the DEN yet.
Would be grateful for any info.
I am also looking for a book that I read many years ago about a US 8th army airforce bombing raid that took place in 1944 to Schweinfurt and Regensburg. It was extreamly well researched and I would like to find I again.
Many thanks
:)
