    Hello to everyone,
    My husband served in the United States Army from 1953 to 1956. He was stationed at the Kaserne in Neckarsulm in 1954-55 (time enough to be awarded the Occupation of Germany medal!). He was, I believe, in the motor pool, and always spoke about the “Grosse Canon” that he and other men transported through the town of Neckersulm.
    He and I visited Germany in 1970 and stopped at Frau Fisher’s (Fischer?) gaust
    hause (is that correct German?), where he said he used to eat and drink with his friends. After all the years, Frau Fisher was still there…you can probably imagine his delight.
    We returned to Germany three more times (1972, 1974, and 1977) and the landscape, and Frau Fisher, were still the same. What a wonderful thing!
    We stayed in Bad Wimpfen, high on the bank overlooking the Neckar River.
    These were wonderful times.
    If anyone remembers, or was stationed at, the Artillery Kaserne in Neckarsulm during the mid 1950′s, please respond. I regret to say that my husband passed away in 2005, but I would be delighted to hear from you.

I had such a wonderful experience there. Sadly , Dennis died in 1974 in a boating accident. He was an incredible man. Hope you were lucky enough to know him!!

    Jim, I do not recall your name but did spend a little time at motorpool. We did some wrok on our 656′s which held the AN-TRC radio. I was sent to generator repair school early august 1971 though I don’t even know why as I never worked on one. We did guard duty around the trucks from time to time. I seem to recall CWO Rice???? There was a black army man who got out and stayed in Neckarsulm. He was the guy who sold hot dogs on t he corner by motor pool I think. They were great. Then there was the ham, cheese, butter on rye bread at Tony’s just outside the gate about two blocks. Great beer and food there.
    later

    Does anyone recall the army cook who was murdered in HHB 3/84 summer of 1971? I recall another military person was dopped up and stabbed him while he was sleepin on or two floors above me. It has been a long time. I do remember things but dates slip by. I was there as an ANTRC 80 operator for HHB from Jan 1970 thru April of 1972. I have not seen any pics of HHB barracks except for one. Nor have I recalled anybody who served with me. There was Jerry Holtgrave (california), Bob (Robert and Virgina) Shaw (Alabama), MSG Gregory, SSG Phillip Hart, SGT Orlando Dunn, SP/4 Steve Parker, SSG Finn. We had a black CO (Captain) he cut me a big break in 1971. So many other I can’t quite recall. It was a great time, experience and advenature!!

    I happened to find this site by doing a search on Facebook, it is great to find this memory. I was with Charlie Battery 4/9th from 87-88, and then got sent to Wharton Barracks to be assigned to 26th Signal. I was a 76Y assigned to the supply room and remember living in the bay area in D Battery’s building. Would like to hear from anybody who remembers me.

    Hey Jim: I don’t know anything about your friend Carl, but your story brings back memorys. I was stationed at Artillery Kaserne, Neckarsulm, in 1977. That was a few years later than you, but I was also in SVC Battery, 3/84th. My MOS was 62C, engineer missile equipment specialist (basically, heaters and air conditioners), but I mostly worked on the generators, both there and previously at Fort Sill, in a Pershing unit. I also did AIT at FT Belvoir, VA. I spent a year in Germany. I wish I had reupped and stayed longer.

    Good luck Jim. Pete

      I was in Germany Artillery Kaserne, Neckarsulm in 1978. I never kept in touch with my old Army buddies. I always wondered what they are up to. If you want to chat drop me a email.

    Hello everyone, I’m setting here with a lump in my throat and nearly have tears in my eyes after stumbling across this site and the pershingmissile.org site last night.
    I was stationed at AK Neckarsulm from the summer of 1971 to summer of 1973. One day short of two years.

    I was a generator tech in the Eng Section of SVC Btry 3/84th. I worked under CWO3 Mr. Rice, CWO2 Mr. Micky, a little short dude from somewhere here in WV, that had a remarkable ability to totally disarm you when you got pissed off about something. By wiggling his ears like an elephant and making the bill of his cap bounce up and down like I don’t know what. But you couldn’t keep from laughing your ass off when he started that. After you quit laughing and cooled down then he’d ask you what the problem was that you where so pissed about. One hell of a guy. A great guy to work for. Then we had SFC Click a little red headed “life-er”, as we called them back then, that was one of the best engine and generator diagnostics men I ever had the privilege of working with or should I say for. He knew his stuff and was always willing and eager to teach you, without putting you down or belittling you.

    I had a mild stoke back several years ago that has claused some memory problems for me when it comes to names, so I’m sorry that I can’t remember more names. Some that I do recall is John Reeves from OK, went through AIT at Belvair with. He was a big dude. Worked as a turkey farmer before being drafted. Never had a drink of beer until Carl Murrayy and I got him drunk on time on 3.2 beer at the EM Club at Belvair, he wasfunny-err than shit by the time we got him back to the barracks. After we got to Germany he got messed up with the wrong bunch and started smokin dope and got all screwed up. He got wasted one night and came in my room a beat the liven shit out of me. I hit that dude with everything I could find. I’ve been in a lot of fights though out my life, some I came out on top, others not so much. But the ass whopping I got that night has never been matched. To this day I still have never found out what the hell it was all about. I looked like I had been through a meat grinder for weeks after that. All the bosses tried to find out who and what had happen, but I never did let them know who it was. In fact until now I’ve never told anyone but the wife, kids and grand kids about this. But after all these years I guess it’s ok to tell the story. Who knows, maybe John will see this and we can get back in touch with each other. John ETS’ed out several months later and I’ve never been able to locate him.

    Just one story out of many from that time in my life. Looking back after all these years it was one the best periods of my life.

    I have been looking for my best friend while in Germany, in fact from AIT at Ft. Belvair VA since I left Germany. His name was Carl Murray (not sure of the spelling at this point in my life, been a long time) and he was from Kansas. He was all the time saying “I’m a Kansas City star, that’s what I are.” He was in C or D Battery as a Gen tech most of the time we where there. But became a gate guard a couple of months before I rotated out to Ft. Benning Ga. If anyone has any info about him I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

    Well, if anyone happens to remember me I would greatly appreciate a shout out from you.
