Richard,

I was in B-Btry, 3rd of the 84th FA at Badenerhof 73-75. I remember we used to look out across the parade ground and wonder if we really belonged to the same army as you guys, What exacttly did your outfit do? Did you ever have to go on field exercises, combat alert or to Graf? No offense, just curious.

Hi Paul,

Yeah, Tillie’s was great. Google Weinstube Braun for their website. Incredibly, they’re still open! I wish I was there right now drinking a big glass of Kluss beer.

Jeff McFadden, Jeff Paris here again, I lived in Untergrupperbac (sorry about spelling). Were you at Kleingartch when the LIVE warhead slipped off the GNC connecting ring sleave while the missle was in the down/horizontal position and roulded off the launcher?. There are two connecting stories I have with this incident. More as well but maybe later. Also, any contact info for CWO Steele?. Thanks.

Hello Paul,
I remember you. I was one of the medics stationed there at the same time you were there. I can’t remember the name of the clinic at Wharton—but i still keep in touch with Sgt.(now Major) Branch–I’ll check in with him and see if he remembers. I was at Badnerhof a year and a half ago while on vacation with my family a lot of memories for sure

Redleg and Kleingartach. Two trips to Graf. Would appreciate more pictures of the kaserne and local sights.

Hi Jeff,

I remember your name. I was in 3rd Platoon, B Btry from 73-75. Were you a supply clerk? I don’t recall what PLL stands for. Do you ever visit the Pershing Missile Alumni site on Facebook?

I was stationed in Badenerhof from ’82-’84 as a 21G in B-Btry, 1st and 3rd platoons. Loved taking trips on the trains, drinking beer/wine, and the nightlife. Got to live off post for a few months before I PCS’d to Ft Sill. Once there I ended up in a swwet gig at DCD in the FA School. No field duty for me from then on!
