I’ve seen Destination: Issue-Park on a number of CCG era Beetles’ birth certificates. Where exactly was this located? Anyone know?

[finster]

this could be the answer, from a baor website.

"The first Park to arrive in the Hamburg area was 171 Vehicle Park under Major R.G. West, with their stock of heavy AFVs which were parked on the Autobahn, commencing at the Hamburg entrance, some 8 miles in the direction of Lübeck.The next Park to arrive was 172 Veh Park under Major W.L. Porter (later taken over by Major F.T. Wellfare), the main ‘B’ Veh Park of the Company and future main issuing Depot in BAOR. This Park took up a further stretch of the Lübeck Autobahn, from the 171 Veh Park exit as far as Bad Oldesloe."

so just off the autobahn midway between hamburg - lubeck about 170km north of wolfsburg
