Country:  | I really think it is amazing. My wife was looking at the pictures and in the background of one of them you can see where our house now built is on. This is crazy.

Country: | Sorry guys have not taken the pics yet, will get them this weekend probably or Monday at work.
The Barracks now are very very modern and nice. Each soldier has his own room with internet, cable TV, and he shares a bathroom with a soldier in the next room. They also have kitchens on each floor to cook. When you see the buildings now they do not look like they are 60 some odd years old. They look like modern new buildings inside and out. However they are the original buildings from WW2 and just renovated many times over the years.

Country: | V2 that is not Ansbach Army Airfield. That is Shipton Kaserne which is about a 5 minute drive from Ansbach Army Airfield (which is actually called Katterbach Kaserne). It is a Air Defense Artillary Post with Patriot Missile Batteries. Do you see a Runway or hangers in those pics? That is also part of our training area but that is not the Airfield.

Country: | V2 this is the airfield as from Google Earth and quite accurate. It even has the big 4th Brigade flag painted on the ground on the flight line.

| I know the what the f*** "H" stands for.
The question is what that tiny landing strip was built for. Very narrow and only a couple hundred feet long.
