    I was stationed in Wharton Barracks from Nov 1977- Mar 1982. I belonged to the 26 the Sig BN as a 72 E20. I was also discharged from Wharton and took a job with AAFES, Stugart. To make a long story short I did not return home until Nov 1997.

    Hello All,

    I was with B Co, 44th Sig Bn, from 1988-1990. What a great time, it amazes me how many different units have passed through Wharton Barracks over the years.

    The church by the front gate, and one building from 26 Signal are all that remain. All of Lower housing housing was demolished. Universitat Heilbronn now occupies what was once the 237th Eng. Bn. part of the Kaserne. Latashas Imbiss next to the PUF, still reigns supreme for a 3 in the morning halb Henchen, with a 0330 flyby at aforementioned PUF! Call it what you want, but AREA 5, is forever AREA 5. Redleg is gone, but the stone remains for 3 who died there to protect. I had the GREAT pleasure of living in the town of Heilbronn 3 times for 3 years each time between 77 and 91, trust me She as well as the whole region, is one of the worlds best kept secrets! Hafen Sie Guten Tag!! Christopher

      Was your Dad stationed with A Battery at the Badernerhof Kaserne also around 75 – 77? The name is very familiar but I was thinking it was spelled differently so I may be thinking of someone else. He was acting 1st sergeant for A Battery for a while.

      Yes both of you have it right,, He was at Bandernerhof First, and then transferred to Neckarsulm, In Neckarsulm they called him “Top”, If anyone would like to get a hold of him his e-mail is steblga@msn.com, or if you look up on FB pershing missiles He is secretary of this Group of individuals who were all in pershing, they get together every year for a reunion. My dad retired in Oklahoma, 26 year lifer, His full name is Glenn A. Stebleton. He retired a First Seargant, they offered him master seargant but the military had changed to much. Hope you guys can get a hold of him, he might be able to help you contact more of your coworkers. Thanks, he will appreciate that some one remembers him. He’s 74 years old now.

    I was stationed at Wharton Barracks from 1966-1968 with the 83d Engineering Battalion Headquarters Company. I was just told by a native of Heilbronn with whom I work that the barracks have been torn down. It’s hard to believe the changes in that area.

      Unfortunately my father passed away almost 10 years ago from ALS. His primary MOS was a medic and I’ll try to find out what unit he was with, I have his DD214 in a safety deposit box and when I get a chance I’ll look it up.
