| 26th August 2009 Brian Beard | HWB 2/2 ACR - From: Bamberg, Germany & Surrounding Areas I too was stationed in Bamberg Germany with Howitzer Battery 2/2 ACR from 1985 to 1987. I remember SGT Manville who posted January 26th, 2009. Bamberg was an absolute beautiful area to be stationed at. I remember the Hills of Bamberg, the river in Bamberg, the many bridges, the stone cobbled streets and walkways, just a life and ambience of the city of itself that no one in America can even imagine. Best times had in Bamberg was when Sgt Chin (Chinchitlertt) bought his BMW and we'd go explore every corner of Bamberg. To Manville, I was MSGT Reids Driver and then 1st Sgt Yarboroughs driver when he came along. If you remember me too, Nice to say HI! |
| 7th August 2009 Big O | Alpha Co 1/54 Inf (Mech) 83-84 - From: Bamberg, Germany & Surrounding Areas Yes, the best time of my life(so far) was spending 18 months in Bamberg. Remebering running to the dome after a night at The Zwiebel. Eating the wursts from the wagons and of course Graf, Hoens, and Wildchicken training areas. Got to travel Spain, France, Italy, Greece, GB, and all of this beautiful country. Will visit next year and can't wait to have an EKU Hefeweizen......Tchuss exactly "ALPHA GATORS ABOVE THE REST" |
| 22nd July 2009 phylis vassar | been there - From: Bamberg, Germany & Surrounding Areas I was in Bamburg in1982 to 1985. What a great place to live!! If I ever got the chance to go back I would!! My husband was stationed with the 82nd airborn and was supply sarg. for 3 years while we were there. You must visit Appendorlf[ right outside of Bamburg] if you get the chance.

| 5th December 2008 Chuck Bostic | Memmelsdorf Residents/Bamberg 68,69 - From: Bamberg, Germany & Surrounding Areas I was stationed in Bamberg 1st 54th. 68-69. A US. Brought My Wife Pam over, Lived in a wonderful house in Memmelsdorf. Had a 1960 VW. Loved the town. Have not been back but want to return soon. Remember the Glider rides across the plaza from the barracks. Chez invasion, great Knockwurst, warm beer, old town, 1 Mark=25 cents, 4 day admin leaves to Garmisch, 4am walk from Memmelsdorf to KP. More warm beer, xmas village ceremony with tree parade, bike paths along roads, community gardens, not many local males my father's age, It was much better then the alternative for an alread married draftee. |
| 4th December 2008 John Kerney | HHB 2/78 FA, 1st Armored Division - From: Bamberg, Germany & Surrounding Areas Bamberg, my first duty station in military service. I could not have asked for a better location to be stationed, I feel quite blessed to have Bamberg as a part of my life ('78-'81). The beauty of the city and the warmth of the people are testament to the enduring legacy to the place that I knew as my "Home Away From Home". Years later in San Antonio I would cross paths with an angel from Bamberg named Silka (where are you now?). Kudos to this website for the wonderful presentation. Love & hugs to the people of Bamberg. A deep heart felt apprieciation to those who share this memory with me and to those who served before, after and continue this memory. To those young men & women who also find themselves stationed in Bamberg for the first time: enjoy it, take the time to actually live it as there is not a better place to be. Should I sign off with "over" or "out"??? I select "over" as this is a continuing conversation & would love to hear more comments. Over |

| 19th September 2008 Silke | Beautiful pictures - From: Bamberg, Germany & Surrounding Areas I grew up in Schweinfurt but was lucky enough to live in Bamberg for a year, to this day it is still my favorite city.

| 23rd April 2008 Breeann Talley | I cant believe they did that! - From: Auschwitz - Birkenau Concentration Camps Breeann-Its just evil how one human being could treat another they way they did. Honestly i didnt really care to know about it until my english teacher read The Dairy of Ann Frank to us. Its horrible i hope i would have never done any of that to anyone. IOts really hard to think that someone would like to see someone in agonizing pain and they being the ones who did it to them didnt any of the guards at least try to help in anyway? |
| 22nd April 2008 Grace | WOW! - From: Auschwitz - Birkenau Concentration Camps This is an extremly good website. I learned a lot form it.

| 16th March 2008 Bing | Kunigundenruh Strasse - From: Bamberg, Germany & Surrounding Areas Like many others- I too was stationed in Bamberg in the '80's. I had been in Crailsheim for only 6 months when they moved my unit to Bamberg. During my time there I had an apartment on Kunigundenruh Strasse- directly across from the "Green Goose". Our close proximity to the bar wasn't good for a young married couple. Anyhowwwwwww.........I really enjoyed my time in Stadt Bamberg. I've been back but would love to come visit and tour the city with my family now. Great pictures! Thanks for sharing. Tchuss! |

| 5th January 2008 David | Even though - From: Auschwitz - Birkenau Concentration Camps my parents and i were fortunate enough to go to Aushwitz concentration camp. because until one has gone they realy dont comprehend the severity of what happened then, pre, and post wars and genecides.
