| 1. Charles Everett, Lt A.D. informiert via Mail über die Hundeschule, die seit 1946 in der Prinz-Heinrich-Kaserne untergebracht war: Ende 1946 wurde in die Prinz Heinrich Kaserne die US European Command (Eucom) Quartermaster K-9 (Hunde Schule) aufgestellt. Es gibt dafür auch ein bestimmtes Abzeichen für diese Schule in Lenggries. Die haben damals Schäferhunde in den Karwendelgebieten gekauft für etwa zwanzig bis vierzig Dollar. Die Hunde erhielten eine Ausbildung als Patrouillenhunde. In 1953 wurden auch schriftliche Anweisungen von die K-9 Schule geschrieben. In 1961 während des Vietnam-Krieges wurden etwa 300 Hunde gebraucht für Wach- und Patrouillendienst in Vietnam. Die K-9 Schule in Lenggries hat 300 Hunde gekauft, ausgebildet und nach Vietnam versendet. Die Hunde sind 1962 in Vietnam angekommen und es gab sofort Probleme. Die Hunde haben die Vietnamesen nicht verstanden (Sprachweise). Die Vietnamesen hatten Angst vor den Schäferhunden - die Hunde waren sehr gross und hatten fast das selbe Körpergewicht wie die Vietnamesen. |

2. Nachfolgender Text stammt von Walter Elkins aus Clearwater, Florida. Auf seiner interessanten Homepage http://www.usarmygermany.com ist mehr über die Zeit der Stationierung von US-Soldaten nachzulesen. (Die PHK ist unter "MISCELLANEOUS" zu finden) History of
Prinz Heinrich Kaserne The Kaserne was built in October 1936. Bavarian Mountain Infantry (mounted) units from this Kaserne served during WW II in Poland, France, and on the Russian front. The Berlin War Academy was the last element of the German Army to man this installation. In May of 1945, units of the US Army's 10th Armored Division established a Prisoner of War Camp and Displaced Persons Collection Point at the Kaserne. The 10th Armored Division continued these operations until they were replaced by units of the 80th Infantry Division in August 1945. Later the same year, Prinz Heinrich Kaserne became the home of the 18th Infantry Regiment, 1st US Infantry Division. The 18th Infantry changed Kasernes with the Quartermaster School in January 1951. Since the arrival of the American Forces, there have been several noteworthy changes in the profile of the Kaserne. In 1950, the present Academic building was converted from a stable and the indoor riding hall was converted to Mess No. 3. The Service Club and three BOQ's were added in 1954. Also in 1954, the last major changes converted the Vet isolation stable to the Post Chapel.
History of Quartermaster School The Quartermaster School was activated at Camp Bramborough, England, in 1944. In January 1945, the School moved to the Isle of Saint Germain, in the vicinity of Paris, France. In September 1945, the School moved to Cambrai Kaserne, Darmstadt, Germany. There the European Command Quartermaster School Center was established in October 1945. In April 1950, the Adjutant General Academic Division of the School was established. The School was moved to Prinz Heinrich Kaserne at Lenggries, Germany, in January 1951. History of Signal School The Signal School was activated on 1 November 1945 at Neuendettelsau, Bavaria, to train United States military personnel in the operation and maintenance of communication equipment and systems in the European Theater. In February 1946, the School was moved to Ansbach, Bavaria, where it occupied the Gneisenau Kaserne. On 15 February 1950, the Signal School moved to Lenggries, Germany, and was consolidated with the Quartermaster School. |
