    Was stationed with HHC, 1st/41st FA at Harte Kaserne from 8/74 to 7/76. Commander was Cpt Douglas J. Middleton, XO: 1lt David L. Kroeshe, 1SGT Finely, Commo Section SSG Baker. I was CPT Middleton’s driver and RO. Ended up spending 10 years in. Anybody out there remember these people or me? Give me a shout, have a lot of memories of that time. Especially the stairs going down the mountain, rationed booze and cigs.

    I would love see pictures or get any information about this location from anyone that lived here around 1958, when I lived here (born in 1952) with my Dad, who was a Sargent, along with my Mom, my sister, born in 1947 and my brother born in Stuttgart in 1958. I miss this place so much and would like to come back to visit with my husband if possible.

    I was at Hardt from Sept 1965-March 67. Col. Haskins was the CO, Capt Stanley King my immediate Commander in the Service Battery along with a Lt Volker. First Sgt James Woods was really cool. Anyone remember Sgt James Crowell? I did various jobs to help keep the Pershings at the ready/steady from the cold war “enemies”. Can anyone add more meaning to this? I mean, someone must remember Jerry (Jerimiah) Thorpe, alias-God. Cheers, Jim Nieman, New Zealand.

    I lived there in 1958 and went to Kindergarten, when my Father: !st Sgt- Sam Braly Jr. and Mother: Juanita Faye Braly was there along with my sister, Teresa and newborn brother, James (Scooter)! It was such an awesome, wonderful memorable time in my childhood and I want to go back there if I can! Such a beautiful country!

    I was stationed there from 1985-1988. I was in Delta Battery and wish I could live those days again. Although, I was ready to go back to the “World” as we called it. I’m trying to locate my boy Elton Harris, Monique Brooks, Rawls, Sgt. Rice, Sgt. Wilkins. Man I could go on. Somebody get at me.

      Hi Larry: You might like my novel, In Green Sleep: A Tor of Durty, which is set in Schabwisch Gmund. Although it was set before your time (late 1960s), but still has some of the magic your experienced. Available on amazon and many other sites.

      Hey there RedLeg! You was my 1SG. I always agreed that you were the best 1SG during my whole time there in HHB from 1983 – 1989. I was in the Ammo Plt (SFC Walter Williams was the PSG then.

      I realize now that those were some of the most wonderful times of my life. It was a great pleasure serving with you.

      Hi FSGT Cross, How you doing, just found this page and saw that you were on here I served with you from 88-90. So liked the time that I was there with you and when I got back to a real Fort it was ran way different. Would like to relive the days that I was there. Hope you are doing well and things are going good.

      Merry Christmas to all of those Warriors that soldiered with me in Gmuend 85-89 HHSB 1-41 FA and Allpha Gators A Btry 2-9 FA. I am proud to have served with all of you and the awesome mission we performed. Old Soldiers never die, we just fade away, having done all we were asked to do no matters what obstacles we had to negotiate to get the mission accomplished. You all should be proud for your contribution to history. BORN IN THE BACKWOODS………………REDLEG BY GOD!!!
