The commander of the Osnabrück garrison "British Forces Germany", Commander John Chaloner, who was enthusiastic about water sports, established the beginnings of the "British Yacht Club" on Lake Dümmer in 1945. The end of the Second World War was only a few months over and Commander Chaloner was looking for a pastime for his soldiers that offered relaxation and employment in an environment close to nature.
Known to many British soldiers as an important landmark during World War II overflights to strategic destinations, Lake Dümmer has now taken on a very different, more peaceful meaning.
