Comments: Notification of Gerszewski/Smiley Kasernes websites
Greetings,
This message is sent to former soldiers interested in Karlsruhe related groups and former units in the Karlsruhe area. I have sent this message to various units at Gerszewski and am now working my way through the Smiley list.
Bruce Christman, was stationed with HHQ 79th Engr. Bn. in the early 1970s, created a great website relating to the 79th as well as Gerszewski / Smiley Kasernes in general. He has posted many great photos from all eras as well as some special photos of the demolition of the Gerszewski Kaserne last summer. It is now being converted to housing.
Heres the web address: http://79thengineers.fateback.com/
On the site there is a page called What Was Where at Gerszewski, with some aerial photos of the kaserne. Each building and feature is numbered with an invitation for old alumni to help identify the functions of each, as well as the dates of the function so we can track the history of the kaserne.
The old place is nothing but a memory now but it can live on in history if you take the time to contribute your memories, good or bad, of your experiences there. Otherwise it will just fade away.
The more who visit and sign the registry, the better the chances are that you might just recognize some old friends from long ago and renew those friendships. I hope you take me up on this invitation. Bruce has put a tremendous amount of work into this wonderful website and it would be great if everyone who walked on those old cobblestone streets would stop by.
Regards,
Thomas J. Radke Company C, 79th Engineer Battalion October 1974 April 1977 thomas_joseph_radke@yahoo.com
