| Thomas G. Cole 23-11-2022 From: USA, Arizona. I was stationed at Monteith Barracks in the mid 60's in Company 'B', 2nd/37th, 4th ARMORED DIVISION. One day me and a friend returned from Furth to have dinner at Monteith's Mess Hall for the 2nd/37th. We were in the 'chow line' with our civilian clothes from town and had our combat boots on. A certain Sergeant, Cheney, a good man we knew and liked stepped into the 'chow line' and saw us. He came over to us laughing. He said, "Man, I know it's getting tough in town when you guys start wearing your combat boots to town!" WE enjoyed a laugh and all went into the Mess Hall. I feel we enjoyed good food by our 1st class Cooks at the Mess Hall. Thanks folks. |
| Rob G 07-07-2022 From: Ireland I worked at MBB/Deutsche Airbus from 1989-1993. I thoroughly enjoyed working there and the high standard of work carried out was truly amazing. I have never seen such high quality in aircraft repair and overhaul. It's a pity that Lemwerder was treated so shamefully. |

| Chris 28-09-2020 From: Huddersfield, England This is a very interesting site. During 1960 I was stationed in Germany with the British Army at 2 locations built on former Luftwaffe airfields. The first was Loddenheide/Munster and the second was Fliegerhorst/Detmold. Also when I had the time I visited many former WW2 Lufwaffe airfields such as Handorf, Achmer, Rheine, Vorden, Alhorn and many more. Being in the Military made me less suspicious!! |
