Comments: Hey. I served at the 558th from 1981 to 83, third herd. My nickname was Flounder. (Everybody got a nickname/spitznamen right?). I remember some good souls there, in a very trying duty station (to say the freakin' least). Kevin Surette, Peter Metz, Mike "Bogart" Richardson, Don Thompson, Joe Hillen, etc. I'm sure there's skads more, but the memory fades after almost 40 years. If any of you remember the point during that time (not the 1960's, not the 1970's); drop me a line. Thanks.

and i felt so sorry for the guys in the towers.if it
matters we had no heat in the shop.i think of all the

shine and how we had to wait for the blacks to dap
before we could get in the mess hall.does anyone else
remember when cpt conine changed our company motto
to no slack.we were not happy.going down to pauls
for dinner after getting off and the company party
when 619 took over the towers so we could have our
party off post.ihave heard people say we had suicides
there but i can not ever remember any.we often
wondered why we had to have a security clearence to
stay on the post and the convoys going out.i was
happy when i left there but have a lot of good
memories i went on to be a lifer but do not regret
it.take care all of us that can say we were at

Comments: Hi together

I urgently need your help. I´m looking for a soldier being stationed at North Point in Kriegsfeld, Germany during 1951 / 52.
I´m a desperate grand child looking for her grandpa.
I don´t know his name but the only thing I know is, that he was stationed at North Point during that time and got acquainted to my grand mom, Erika Glas.
She became pregnant and before my father was born on August 10th in 1952, he had to go back to the US. Maybe someone of you can remember the story and help me with my research. My Dad´s name is Roland Frank but I think it should be Frank Roland, which maybe indicates that his father was named Frank.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Melanie

North Point Confinement Center is a place you won't want to go.
It's a place out in Germany, back in the hills where the snow always goes.
Well we all work in a wooden box .
Just sit there and stare alot.
No we don't get to (read alot).
Break the rules and you're sure to get caught.

It's a place where they (mess) with you

For lunch and for dinner they let us unwind.

I WAS HOME TO VISIT MY IN LAWS LAST MONTH AND THE POINT IS A SCRUB OF ITS FORMER SELF. THE SITE HAS BEEN ALL BUT DESTROYED....THE BACK FENCE ALLOWS ACCESS TO THE POST TO BE DESTROYED BY KIDS FROM ADJACENT VILLAGES. BUT THERE WAS ONE THING I FOUND BURIED NEAR THE MOTOR POOL WHERE I PUT IT NEARLY 18 YEARS AGO. A TIME CAPSULE WITH TOKENS OF MEMORIES LEFT FOR SOME RAT TO FIND. I FOUND IT. BURIED BY SIX DRUNK GUYS AND A WILL TO LIVE FOREVER. I HAVE THE CAPSULE FELLAS. FIRST PLATOON, YOU WILL LIVE ON IN ME UNTIL MY LAST BREATH.

Comments: I was sitting in my office the other day, surrounded by my Army memorabilia, and got to thinking about The Point, where I served from 11/89-11/91 with the 558th. I stumbled upon this and a couple other Kreigsfeld-related websites, and the pictures posted on one such site (http://www.angelfire.com/tx5/kregsfeld/pictures) gave me the chills - the pictures look like they are from the early 70s, but the place looked EXACTLY THE SAME when we were there in the late 80s. I cannot believe it has already been about 15 years since I was stationed at The Point and how much the world has changed since then. For as miserable as the duty there was for an MP, in retrospect we actually had a pretty decent time there.
