cool video I was stationed in C battery 6/9 FA from sept 76 until april 79. I married my german sweet hart and have been back several times. And yes it has changed so much but if you want to get together with some old friends you might try military.com and put your old unit in there and you might be suprised to find that some of your old friends are members of this site.

Good luck and bye for now.

My dad was stationed here from '57-'58.We last visited in 1989 and it was nothing like this. No car dealership row.It was still Army barracks. Wikipedia says it was closed in 1992. Are the barracks condos or apartments now? Here's a photo of him during maneuvers in Wildflecken (flickr.com/photos/kbreenbo/82­784457/). How bizarre is it that my dad met and married my mom in Detroit soon after she immigrated from Germany, a few kilometers from Wildflecken (a hamlet called Tränkhof).

GREAT video. I was stationed at Rivers 1989 to 1990 in what is building E. I also worked at the AAFES theater on post. I see it has been demolished with a few other buildings. What a change that area has gone through. Lots of build up now where there used to be a baseball field.

You're welcome. I've lost touch with the guys I was stationed there with through the years but I have been looking for them and my old friends from Germany with no luck. I had some of the best times of my life in your country with my German friends. I wish I could visit there again and reconnect with them to see how they all are. die Sibylle Zahn, die Petra Vogel, der Martin, der Yurgen, die Maggie, und die Hiecka. Broast!!!
