    I was stationed at Barton Barracks from 65-67; HHB 210th Arty Group. Met some great soldiers. It was a good tour of duty.

    I was there when we transitioned to the 2nd Bn. Went well. I recall that we changed out letterhead and lost the pictures on the hall wall by the Orderly Room. I was a 24B at the time. CW Radar.

    I was in A Battery, 4Th Bn, 57th ADA at Barton Barracks from 1/70-12/73. The best three years of my life. Have been back as a civilian twice. Still love the place.

      I was there until 4/70. I roomed with Glen Tilley. What happened to the 4/57? Did they move back to the states or did they just rename the unit to 2/57. I worked in the Arms room. I believe there was a clerk by the name of burback that worked there.

      Joe, I faintly remember your name. Glen and I were in the CW Radar Section. We were re-flagged the 2/57. I left in December 73 and rotated to Homestead AFB. The old unit was de-activated and re-organized as a Patriot Bn and deployed to the Middle East in the first Gulf War. There is a lady Vet in my American Legion Post who was there at the time and was telling me about it. I need to sit down with her and get more information about that time. Good to hear from you.

    I was at Barton from June 67 to Dec 69. Battery A, 4th of the 57th. Like the one other guy said I did the HAWK stuff at Bliss but the first thing they asked when I got to Barton was could I type. Battery clerk and Commander’s driver was the result. Was anyone there when the 4th of the 57th changed to 2nd of the 57th. I am interested in how that went. Also does anyone remember the Kugel Stuben, an Italian bar downtown? Is it still there? Great times looking back. Remember the crap when the Russians invade Czechoslovakia in Aug 68? Google Earth shows lots of changes at Barton. EM club is gone, chapel gone, theatre gone.

    I served with the 4th Bn, 57th ADA from 1961 to 1964as a missile & launcher mechanic. Ansbach was a great place to be stationed. Learned to speak German while there. The 4/57 was a fine unit.

      Hey… it’s great to see you guys from the 33rd. Do any of you know if Barton Barracks were given back to to the Germans? I used to see it on google earth and it was still practically the same as when we were there, but now although the buildings still there, it doesn’t show as Barton Barracks.

      Hi Jeff, remember the Black Bear well (also the Cafe Schmidt and Florida Bar), I had a band at that time in Ansbach (German band) and we played at the Bear often, good times and lots of MP´s always around. I also had a band earlier with some GI´s from Barton, we used to rehearse at the bandroom right next to parade field towards snack bar. Some of the members were Ronald Dacus – Ray Fuller – John Livingston – Tom Thompson, all from 210th.

    David Raymond – I would like to get in touch with you. I visited the Katterbach/Ansbach area quite a bit in 1971-72. I recently heard there was a tunnel or underground bunker system at Katterbach, left over from WWII. Am a fiction author and would like to use that in one of my books. Do you know anything about such a thing??
    Thanks

      there was a underground airport at katterbach. it was filled with water when I was there. We used to go out to the field there and had to be careful to not fall
      in the air holes that had been left.
