Comments: I arrived at the 195th Ord. Det in Dec of 58 and left in june of 62. So I had lots of time going to all of the sites. Sad to see how all is really just a memory.
Comments: I was stationed in Hardheim from 8/0/63 - 4/0/65 .For the most part the time was quiet except for the JFK presidential assaination. We were watching a movie and someone came in and told us first that he had been shot then was dead. The German people in Hardheim for the most part thought it had been a conspiracy. I always loved Hardheim the gasthauses and people were very giving...

Comments: My name is Ulrich (Uli) Pfingstler
I grew up in Brackenheim and do still live in this region (exactly Lauffen/Neckar 10-15 km from there).
A great compliment for the initiator, Dean Jonasen, for this documentation. Due to friendship (1960-1961) with Bill Griffin, nick-name "MAC" (because formerly Marine Corps), I had contact with the comrades, did also frequent the caserne, and even once the launching area (per hasard - causing big trouble for Bill - but we (he) did not care...).
I remember having got/bought the very cheap cigarettes, occasionally Whiskey from Bill and also other guys....many memories...!
It was great for me to discover names and images of comrades, as for instance Marion Naeger (very good in German language/even dialect of our region), or Bill Zeien enjoying the "Moninger" Bier in the forest-guest place… –
Again a big compliment to Dean for the accuracy and detailed descriptions - even historically - of the region and villages over there.
