I just met an eyewitness of tunnels underneath the airfield of a complete different kind than the one I have been in (see last thread).
The brother of a friend of mine just told me this story: He was born in 1967 and discovered this tunnel- (system) when he was 12.
He lived in Eislingen and he and a friend were opening or rather breaking open a steel door, half round, just to see what was behind it. They discovered this door near Weingartenstrasse and In den Weingärten in Eislingen up towards the airfield which is quite some distance away from there.
Behind the steel door they found a long tunnel leading upwards toward the airfield. When they came back with torches they walked through the tunnel for about 1 km, he estimates !!! The tunnel was about 2,50 meters high - the standard height of a living room in Germany. It was so wide that a car could have driven through the tunnel, he said! When they came to a point where the tunnel was split in two like an intersection, one way leading to the right side, the other to the left, they decided not to follow it any further. Also they did not trust their cheap torches much. They never tried again to go inside and discover it any further. Where the door or entrance was in Eislingen are apartement houses now and there is no chance to find it again. It was probably permanently blocked and shut before the houses were built.
