Correct ! Well done sir.
The Gleiwitz incident was a staged attack by Nazi forces posing as Poles on 31 August 1939, against the German radio station Sender Gleiwitz in Gleiwitz, Upper Silesia, on the eve of World War II in Europe.
On the night of 31 August 1939, a small group of German operatives, dressed in Polish uniforms and led by Naujocks seized the Gleiwitz station and broadcast a short anti-German message in Polish (sources vary on the content of the message).
The Germans' goal was to make the attack and the broadcast look like the work of anti-German Polish saboteurs.
The rest is history..........
You have control.

East Anglia, yes, just about. Bovingdon - no.
Other than the existence of a memorial and the complete absence of trees, hedges etc, on the ground you would be hard pushed to tell that there had ever been an airfield here. From the air the faint outline of the runways is visible together with vestiges of concrete peri tracks still used for agricultural purposes.
