A lazy late summer day on the Niederhofen/Haberschlacht road, just off the barracks road heading down to Niederhofen and the Gesthaus Rose. The Gesthaus Rose was one of our hangouts. You can “Click Here” to view that image.

We would sometimes continue down the strasse to Kleingartach, but every step further one takes away from the barracks is another step you have to take to get back there. Especially late at night and in the winter.

You can see the Niederhofen road a little farther down the hill and in the winter. Just “Click Here” to view the image.

These next 6 images were taken by (Spec-4) Bill Silva who was stationed at Charlie Battery in the late 60's. Other than the obvious visual clues, I don't know anything about the images.

I am amazed at the how much camouflage was used at that time. Maybe it was because of the more sophisticated spy satellites at the time. That's strictly a guess on my part.
