Prior to Hersbruck, we spent a year at the Amberg DP camp (in 1946), and it was at the Kaiser Wilhelm Kaserne. I remember that one quite well also. We lived many families to a room, with blankets hung on ropes to provide a bit of privacy. Nachdem Metz als Folge des Krieges von 1870/71 an Deutschland gefallen war, besetzten deutsche Truppen die Kaserne, die dann zu Ehren von Wilhelm I. In „Kaiser Wilhelm-Kaserne“ umbenannt wurde. Belegt wurde sie mit dem I. Bataillon des Infanterie Regiments Nr. The name of the camp is Kaiser Wilhelm Kaserne. My parents were there in the time frame of around 1949-1950. My parents were there in the time frame of around 1949-1950. Mihalko family in Germany. Some information is courtesy of 'US Army in Germany, 1945-1989' www.usarmygermany.com Installation names in red are installations occupied and used by American Forces in the Occupation and/or early Cold War period but then returned to. Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kaserne was built in Mannheim in 1901. When these photos were taken ca. 1936, the post was the home of Artillerie-Regiment 69. Army used the post as Turley Barracks from 1945 until about 2009.

Turley Barracks

By Cliff Strobel (1954-1955)

When I was there Turley Barracks was entirely dedicated to the 37th TMTC. It appears the transportation facility now there is much smaller with all of the other organizations now located there. When I was there the entrance was on Grenadier Strasse and a children's hospital was across the street. To the right of the entrance was a small office and the rest of the building was an enlisted club. Beyond that was a mess hall and to the right, along the OEG tracks on Friedrich Ebert Strasse was the barracks where I was billeted. The long building you refer to was a PX, cleaners, barber shop, etc. The motor park was in the back as you described. I was in Headquarters Company and worked in the last building on Grenadier Strasse. That is at the northeast corner, or perhaps the far eastern corner (I believe) of the facility.

Interestingly, the father of a college friend of mine was stationed at Kaiser Wilhelm Kaserne for a period while in the German army in World War I. He was later wounded in France but recovered. The family moved to the US in the 20's. He passed on several years ago.

Turley Barracks before World War I

The configuration of buildings in the picture looks very close to what I remember from 54 and 55. It also helped jog my memory as to what the place looked like. I think I remembered it pretty well but there were some minor differences. On the other hand maybe it looked different from the picture and when I was there. I guess after 45 years I'm entitled to some small memory lags. My barracks building was to the right of the long building you described in your original letter. The building I worked in was apparently not yet built when the picture was made. It would have been just to the left of the trooper on the left about knee high. I'm sure my friends father would have liked to have seen the picture of the Kaserne if he were still living.

I remember the cold war. We used to practice evacuating the site and going into the field if there was a Russian attack. We were told it would take 20-30 minutes for the Russian planes to get to us and I don't recall that we ever got everything together and off the base in less then an hour or so. Maybe we would have moved faster if it was the real thing. I'm glad it was just practice.

I believe the Kaserne was a Panzer facility when the Germans used it during WW II. I recall that on the walls of various buildings they had pictures of Sherman tanks (in various views, i.e. front, side, back) with aiming points on the tanks.

I was at Turley Barracks from October 1954 to September 1955. I returned to college after leaving the army in 1955. Later on I worked for the Navy as a civilian in San Diego and traveled throughout WESTPAC as part of my duties in Industrial Relations (now called Human Resources). I would have liked to have been able to travel to Europe (Germany more specifically) to have seen some of my old haunts but all of our activities were in Asia, Alaska, Pacific and West Coast. I am now retired.

By Bill McDaniel (1961-1963)

I'm sure Turley has changed a lot since I was there from 1961 to 1963. I am attaching one photo showing the barracks as they were some 37 years ago. In addition to driving a deuce and a half I was also company photographer and this is one of the photos I have.As I remember entering the kaserne the building on the right was the 237th & 327th MP companies, the NCO club, snack bar and a bowling alley. To the left was the mail room and service club, next was the barracks of the 51si and 342nd followed

by the HQs of the 181st. The motor pool was behind the service club. I always wanted to return to Germany and visit the sites I have seen. I put on 52,000 miles in that 2 1/2 ton truck. I spent time in Graff & Vilseck supporting armored units and the 10th special forces in the Garmisch area. I had a great time there. Since then I joined the Hollywood Police Department in Florida and retired about 6 years ago after 29 years. I still live in Florida.

Greetings to everybody at the Mannheim army community; I used to be there from May 86 to May 91 stationed at Coleman Barracks then at Sullivan Barracks, then from May 91 until November 95 I worked at the youth services; most people knew/know me as Randy. I worked at the youth services and also the Installation Volunteer Coordinator Office . I coached youth sports all of the times I did (youth soccer: autumn 90, spring & autumn 91, spring & autumn 92, spring & autumn 93, spring & autumn 94, spring 95 and also coach-pitch baseball - the year I cannot remember, but anyway the soccer was more important.

By Jim Temperly (1955-1957)
Iwas at Coleman Barracks from 1955-57 with the 2nd Armored Div. I was 24 years old at the time and was the Message Center Chief for HQ & HQ CCA. I am now 69 years old and retired from the Army in 1971. Our units were located in the barracks. They were all open bay barracks. Only senior NCOs (SFC & Master) occupied the rooms in these barracks. We had alerts each month and a pass was good from 1700-2400 only. A bed check was conducted about 0100 to insure that all were where we were supposed to be. Saturday morning inspections was a must. There was no TV (only AFN radio and the popular Radio Luxembourg which most of the GIs listened to at night). Ramstein & Spangdahlem did have TV but the signal only covered each base. The EM Club, the Service Club (on the second floor of the main exchange), Harvey Theatre, EM Club were our entertainment. On occasion, some GIs would dare to try and get onto Gutemann Strasse in Mannheim which was (OFF LIMITS) because it was a street which had ladies of the night doing what they do best if you get my drift. I mean a clean cut boy like me would not be seen on such a street (between Monday-Friday) however, I wouldn't bet on Saturday night. We worked and trained hard
	(taken in 1955)
back then and we needed to let off some steam. If you got caught on that street it meant a couple of weeks of extra duty at night and no pass for the two weeks.
Next, I want to share with you what happened in 1963 when we were on a six month TDY at Sullivan Barracks and President Kennedy was assassinated. We were in shock and also wondering what the Russians would do.
Where were you on Nov-21-1963? Many of you were not born yet or, for others, you were in your teens or younger and the event was taught to you while you were in grade school. I was stationed at Sullivan Barracks at the time. Here is the story of that day and how I first heard of this tragic event and the days that followed: In June of 1963, the unit I was assigned to at Fort Benning, Georgia left for a six month TDY deployment to Germany on what then was called 'ROTAPLAN'. to be the replacement for our sister Battalion who went to Germany in January of 1963. We were attached to the 8th Inf Div for the six months we were there. As I usually did (when not out in the field) after we had our evening meal, I would go to the dayroom we had and either read the Stars & Stripes or, watch German TV. AFN had no television as yet back then. I was reading the paper when a member of our unit came into the dayroom and said, 'Did you hear President Kennedy was Shot in Dallas, Texas'. I said, 'No, but I'll bite, what is the punch line'? I could tell by the expression on his face that he was not tellng a joke but was serious. I raced back to the barracks and many of the guys were gathered around a radio listening to AFN (from Frankfurt) and it was also at that time I heard, 'President Kennedy died a few minutes ago'. AFN was carrying live reports from the three major networks in the United States. All of us sitting in that room were stunned. What was going to happen now between the United states and the Soviet Union? Relations between these two super powers was at that time very strained to say the least. Would they launch an all out attack against the U.S. Forces in Germany? We expected to be placed on a full alert at any minute. Soon, unit members who had been at the NCO/EM club, the SCHUH theatre or the SNACK BAR where on Friday nights back then, the snack bar had steak night, were coming back to the barracks because all facilities upon hearing of the death of our president closed up. The Sullivan Chapel (which was right across from or barracks) was aglow with lights. and many from the unit went to the Chapel to pray for our President (Me included). The Chapel was open all night. A cook from our Mess Section, went to the Mess Hall and made a big urn of coffee. It was going to be a long night as we huddled around the radio listening to the latest reports coming in from Dallas. Back then, AFN normally signed off the air at 0100 hours but not that night. They stayed on the air keeping us informed and up to date with the latest information. By 0600 a goodly number of us were at the Mess Hall for the Stars & Stripes to arrive to read what we had been hearing on the radio. I have included the big bold headlines that was in the Stars & Stripes that morning (Saturday Nov-22-1963). It is getting yellow with age but that makes no difference to me because, it is a major event in my lifetime. On Saturday morning (Nov-22-1963) we were instucted to be in Class 'A' Uniform at a 9:00 AM formation where an official announcement would be read to all units that President Kennedy was dead. All of the EES Facilities (now AAFES) remained closed on Saturday to include many of the German stores. By 10:00 AM many German civilians came to lay flowers at the gate to Sullivan Barracks. This also was the case at other Kasernes in the
Mannheim Area. It was heart wrenching to watch these Germans come up to the gate, lay a bouquet of flowers with tears streaming down their cheeks and then go and talk to the SP guard on duty at the gate. I know it was difficult for the guy who was manning the gate at the time. Saturday was a blue day. All the EES facilities remained closed and all of us were restricted to Sullivan Barracks. We listened to the radio, took naps and made the most of a sad day. On Sunday, the chapel was packed for all services. It made no difference whether you were Protestant, Catholic or any other denomination. It was a time for grieving and each attended each others service. By Sunday night, the SCHUH theatre did open and it was then that we were able to see (via newsreels that were rushed to Germany for the U.S. Forces) what we had only been able to hear on the radio. I know I had tears streaming down my face. The other events we read about also (The shooting of Oswald) and so forth which is also history. You really had to be there (as I was) to fully understand this tragedy. I know I will never forget that time in my life. I am thankful that I can share this piece of history with you and especially for those of you now serving at Sullivan Barracks where I was stationed when we received the tragic news. I would also like to thank AFN who kept us up to date on everything that was taking place. They did a super job then, I know they are doing the same now.

Hello, I am curious to find out if you know anything about a place in germany called 'Aglasterhausen Childrens Center'. It is where I was placed at 10 days of age. I understand that it was used previously as a place to euthanize children with deformities. Any insight you could give me would be appreciated. Thank You, Vicki

'We arrived in Aglasterhausen with the rest of the children in about two hours travelling time. It was situated in a small town Neunkirchen, 100 km from Heidelberg. The place we were in had been used as a home for retarded children. In 1937 all these children were put to sleep by injections, as was the custom in the Third Reich administration.

The camp consisted of about 200 children, from 12 months to 18 years old. Most of the children were Jewish from all over Europe: Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Romania, also non-Jews from Ukraine, Yugoslavia, Estonia, Germany, and Lithuania. The surrounding areas around the camp were just like in a dreamland. Beautiful, tall birch trees covered most of our front and back courts. On one side of the home was a meadow with a small river flowing. The most beautiful birds were buzzing all over us.' For entire text see: http://migs.concordia.ca/memoirs/smilovic/part_7.html

2/15/007 Mrs. Kaczmar,
In 1947, my father, Konstanty Proniewicz, was transferred to the Children's Center here from Prien as an unaccompanied minor. He has told me that he remembers that there were people there from the USSR looking for Russian children. He lived here until 1948, when he was transferred to Bad Aibling. Any information on this location would be greatly appreciated. Max Monclair, Omaha, NE

9/2/07 Hello Olga,

Many thanks for your website - I was born in Ahlen - My mother told me there was a hospital* there but I cannot find anything about it. Anka KowalczykOzzpol88@yahoo.com.au

9/22/07 Reply:

Hello, Anka,
I saw your request for information on the hospital in Alhen, Germany. I was there in 1996; I was inside the hospital and I took a picture of it. The name of the hospital is on the picture - I think it's St. Fransiskus - *St. Franziskus - Hospital Ahlen http://factpartner.de/6648.html My mother has the photographs, and I'll take a look at them when I get home tonight and let you know if that's it or not, but the hospital is there.
My parents were in the DP Camp in Ahlen also. In 1996 we went to visit Ahlen in honor of their 50th Wedding Anniversary. We saw the house where my mother lived (it now houses Gypsies), we saw the barrack where my father lived (it's now a storage building). And we saw the coalmine where they (and maybe your parents) worked. I took a picture over the fence and couldn't see what I was photographing, but when the pictures came back, I saw that I had photographed the wagons of coal with the numbers on them, and my mother said that that was EXACTLY the way the coalmine looked when they worked there; same wagons and same numbers; nothing changed in 50 years!
There is a street in Ahlen just before the woods that has a path leading to the hospital. My parents lived in a house on that street. They said that the Germans were forced to leave their homes on that street after the War, and the DP's got to live there for a few months. Beyond the hospital, there is a mill that still exists. We saw that too. When we were there, my father walked up to the front desk at the hospital and asked them if the nurse he worked there with in 1945 was still there - and they said that she had just retired! We visited the house of someone my parents knew in Germany, but have not been in touch with since 1946, and the lady recognized my father right away before we even told her who we were!

12/11/08 Hello Olga,

Ainring Jewish site (U.S. zone),

Oct. 1, 2013

Hanna Abaszidze (nee Trebert) 1916-1950
Hanna was born in Warsaw, and married in 1937 to Wachtang Abaszidze, a Captain of the 13th Division of the Polish Army. She is a distant relative of my wife, whose family history I am researching. I hope this post may generate some additional info about Hanna.
Wachtang was Georgian, having fought in the Russian Civil War 1917-20 on the White Russian side, and escaped via Constantinople to be recruited into the new Polish Army. Captured in September 1939, he was released in December 1939. Hanna and Wachtang passed the war in Warsaw, but so far as one can gather they drifted apart towards the end. Hanna managed to get away from Warsaw before the Uprising broke out on 1st August 1944, and at the end of the war found herself in the area east of Munich. As she spoke several languages fluently, she quickly found herself employed by the American forces as an interpreter, and then soon joined the International Refugee Organisation as a welfare officer (see photo below).

She worked in various camps from 1945 to 1950, so far as I can identify, as follows: Hammerau, Murnau, Freilassing, Laufen, Ainring and Bad Reichenhall. She was employed at Bad Reichenhall twice, and this was her last posting when on Saturday 13 May 1950 she drowned in a river above Bad Reichenhall trying to save the dog of a friend which had fallen into the river. She had a very large funeral, and people came long distances to attend. She would have been very well known in the camp network, being an outgoing and gregarious personality. She was buried at St Zeno Church in Bad Reichenhall, where a stone on her grave was maintained by someone until about 2006. I found the site of her grave a few years ago.
I have asked for this information to be posted on the Dpcamps website in the hope that it may ring bells with people interested in any of the camps listed. Maybe fragments of information exist here and there which will help me build up a richer picture of this young woman whose life was cut off so prematurely.

Hello, Olga. I know that we were in a camp in Czechoslovakia, where my sister died; Wurzburg; Kleinheubach/Lowenstein; and Aschaffenburg, where we lived in a room on the first floor of the administration building which was right by the main gate and also contained the jail. I was trying to research the DP camps, especially the one in Aschaffenburg. I've found references to the Ukrainian camp but have not found any to the Estonian camp. I know it existed because I spent over two years there after the end of the war, and it was our starting point when we emigrated to the US. Can you give me any info/URL's which would lead me to sites where I might learn more about the Estonian camp? Tonu & Nancy

5 Jun 2010 Hello,
My parents were displaced people from Poland, and were in a camp in Germany where I was born as well as my three brothers. I believe it was Aschendorf-Hummling, don't know much about it, my parents never talked about it. We came to the U. S. in 1951 lower East side. They are not living now and would like to find out about the past. I have old documents and photos, the documents are in German as well as the passport. They were helped by the International refugee organization. I have a letter telling my parents where they will be living in N.Y. and his job as a janitor.
My question is how do I go about finding out more information about the camp they were in? If there is a list of DP camps to confirm? I am doing this for my grand children so they know the family history.
Appreciate your Help, Monica Honjune@aol.com

Hello Olga,
I hope you can help me with a conformation that my family were in the Aurich DP camp for approx 4 months from May to August 1950. Prior to that, we had been in at least 3 other camps in Italy Cinecitta, Versa and BagnoliÉ. I think. We left in 1950 from Bremenhaven on the Skaugum lll for Newcastle in New South Wales, Australia. But the ship kept breaking down soooooo we were off loaded in Fremantle, Western Australia. Then sent to a DP in Northam, Western Australia.

I think we were so very lucky to have been left in Perth Western Australia, I love it here. I would like to have the history to pass on to my family. Whatever you can help me with I would appreciated. Thank you in advance. Take care for now. Orietta Corbett. Australia
