Cambrai Fritsch Kaserne was, I believe, an Army base where 6911th RGM was a tenant organization. Again, I’m not sure what my Dad did here but thanks to Red Barthel, I’m a little more familiar. He provided a nice PDF file on Darmstadt and what USAFSS was all about in Darmstadt. You can read the PDF at the link below:
Thanks, Red!
I was stationed at CFK in 1963 by which time the 6911th had been absorbed into the 6910th.

I was stationed at CFK from 1961 until 1964, working as an Air Force 203. Good times! And busy times, too…allthough I did get to know the city of Darmstadt very well.
I was stationed at the 6911th RGM from 1959 to May 1961. I was on Charley trick and was the guy who pulled the paper from your typewriter.
I was at CFK from 1/75 to 8/77 in Co A 440th Signal. At the time there was the 440th; 557th Ambulance company; an MP company; the Finance office; the Transportation Motor Pool and the community ed center. Hqs 32nd Air Defence Command came in, in about March of ’76. The Bicentennial of 1976 was kind of a bust for we GI’s stationed there, no big parades, huge fireworks displays on the 4th, or weeklong celebrations. Of course the news from “The World” was all about the Bicentennial, most of us just started ignoring it.
I was stationed with 6911th from Oct 60 to Mar 62 on Delta. Best friend was William Muellenhof on Charlie and Tim Engh(roomate). I am living in Sebastian, Fla. Retired from AF in 1980 and retired from postal service in 2005. Looking for anyone from the unit or anyone that knows location of Muellenhof or Engh. Tks muoch.
I was stationed with 6910SW at CFK from 67-69 on Charlie Flight. It was a great place to be. Anyone buy a car from Klaus outside the gate. How about the food at Sorento’s and Restruant Italiano. Many really good memories from my time there.

Was TDY to the Darmstadt area in 1965 working at the antenna fields in Griesheim – attached to I believe the 6901 Comm SQ. We were housed in Darmstadt at the Cafe Schneider and passed by CFK each day on our way to Griesheim. I am trying to locate the street name on which the Cafe was located. As I recall, it was on a corner lot, adjacent to a large park. I also remember a bakery we frequented across the street. Anybody have a clue?
I was stationed at CFK from 5/76 – 6/77 I was the driver for MG Robert W. Fye, CG 32d AADCOM. I lived in Eschollbrucken. I sure miss my times in Darmstadt.
I was stationed at Cambrai from January 1955 to December 1955. My unit was the 7811 Army Support Unit (ASU). We provided support to the field units that were stationed in the area. There were mostly Air Force Units at this post, as I remember. We called the US the “land of the round doorknob” as all of the doors had handles. I remember the living quarters were not bad, the food was OK, served by the Air Force and young german female waitresses. The weather was good, the area was interesting and very scenic. And being 20 miles from Frankfurt by train was a major advantage.
I remember these guys:
John Taylor from West Virginia
Bob Sack from Adrian Michigan
John Cummings from Whittier CA
Harry D. Pratt, SSgnt
Col. Robin D. Gardner
Capt. Howard T. Sherrard
Msgt Robert D. Monyhan
Ladies who worked in the office:
Frau Kalke
Irmgard Daehne
I was in B Co 44oth Sig Bn from 11/76-04/78. I created a 440th FB page and there is another for CFK. You can see photos and maybe link up with an old friend and also get some history on CFK and 440th.
