Willie,

I also came from Shiroi to Darmstadt — in March 1959, ran the theater 1958-59 and played BB for Easy in 60-61. Surely our paths crossed. I worked radioprinter

Amos seems like I remember your name but can not put a face with it.

Reading some of your comments I think my father, George Harold Barr may have been there the same time as some of you. I believe he also played BB and FB for the air force.

I was in Darmstadt from 1960-1963. Your Dad, like all of us in the “silent service,” was a Cold War Warrior that contributed enormously to the defeat of the Soviet Union. The work we accomplished will forever be Top Secret, but you can get some clues from what you read about the NSA and DIA in the media. Be assured he was a true Hero.

I was stationed at Cambrai Fritsch Kaserne in 1966-1967 with the U.S. Army, V Corp Btry. F, 26th Artillery . We operated out of the Army Airfield at Griesheim, Germany. Mainly just small choppers and small fixed wing aircraft there when I was there. I received OJT as air traffic control and clerk. Have a lot of fond memories of that place and made some good friends while I was over there. God Bless All Who Served.

I was stationed at Cambrai Fritsch Kaserne in 1966-1967 with the U.S. Army, V Corp Btry. F, 26th Artillery . We operated out of the Army Airfield at Griesheim, Germany & drove back & forth daily. Mainly just small choppers and small fixed wing aircraft there when I was there. I was trained radio teletype operator & received OJT as air traffic control and clerk. Have a lot of fond memories of that place and made some good friends while I was over there. God Bless All Who Served.

Ladies and Gentlemen, My name is Kerstin Ross and I am looking for my father Michael Richards. It took a while to write the lines but now it is finally done … even if it is ample text, I am grateful for every straw. The text may also be shared. Thanks to everyone in advance !!!! Unfortunately, my English is not perfect, I ask in advance to take into account

I was born on 31.05.1974 in Seeheim in Jugenheim and my father must have been sent back to the States shortly before my birth (I guess Feb./ March 1974). He was then stationed in the Cambrai Fritsch barracks in Darmstadt, which unfortunately no longer exists.

My biological mother, Helga Ross, with whom I have not grown up, worked there as a cleaning power at that time and met him there. My mother was sent to the house by my grandfather in Stettbach shortly before the arrival, because there was a dark-skinned child on the way. Then she took an apartment in Pfungstadt. There was only 1 mattress and me. The police broke the apartment after my grandfather got a bad conscience and so I was released to care. Although I have a stepbrother named Reinhold, but also to him I would for personal reasons no contact.

The nursing family, where I grew up, came from Hähnlein / Bergstraße. Of this family I have received my birth certificate, but my mother was so “smart” and did not let anything register there. Since I also have no date of birth, I can only guess that my father today between 63-67 years old could be.

Today, I have no contact with my mother, which can be imagined. She was of the opinion that he was not worth looking for him. This opinion, however, I would like to form myself!

I only learned about the name of my father at the age of almost 30 years and unfortunately I have nothing else. Neither a social number, nor a photo. He was supposed to have been transferred back to Ohio.

My aunt Petra Ross and my uncle Heinz Ross can only remember the nickname “chocolate” because he always brought sweets. He should have been a loving man !!!

So far I have tried everything possible: On the Internet I found a father’s search in the Schwarzwald but the name is unfortunately an all-world name. “Please notify me” and “Missing” I wrote at the time, but did not get feedback. Google I have synonymous next night durchforstet but there I found nothing synonymous.

I’m glad that there is this group here and maybe I have a little chance of progressing.

Thanks again to everyone.

P.S. I can only rely on the information I’ve been told, whether the really all agree, I do not know …….. I hope it but !!!!!

Hello,

Did anybody know my grandfather Lyle Edgar Duesterhoeft. Served in the USAFSS 2nd RSM in Darmstadt. Any stories would be great. He died in 1979, so I never met him.

Thank you for your time.

Adam did not know your Grandfather but as keeper of the Master Roster of the 2nd RSM we have him listed. All info I can provide is info from teo sets of orders in 1955.
3 Jan 55 he was an A/2C (Old Army type Corporal) and a Voice Intercept
Operator and again on 21 Oct 55 he had been promoted ti A/1c (Sergeant) and still a Voice operator. The Jan order was with the 2nd RSM and The Oct order was for the 6911th RSM, both the same just new Squadron designators, same Kaserne same operations area etc.
His AFSC (AF Specialty Code/voice operator)was 20330-1. I came back for my 2nd tour in Oct 55 and no doubt we worked together out in Operations, I was Morse Code operator and in a different section.
You can find info on it as it is now used by the Army and called “DAGGER COMPLEX” and available on the internet. Hope this just might add more info on your Grandad.
