Hello members of the WAF,
I am currently serving in Bielefeld, Germany and i am trying to do a little research on the 2 camps there still in use by the British Army (Catterick Bks & Rochdale Bks formerly Mossbank Bks). What i would like to see are any period photographs of the Wehrmacht and or the Camps used by them. The only monument remaining to any German troops having been posted there is a monument to the Schleswig Holstein Fuss Art Regt Nr9 (in Catterick Bks). A lot of the blocks are still scarred by ordnance presumably the result of the pulverising the Allies gave the town at the beginning of 1945 but trying to find out even the original names of the Barracks is proving to be difficult. I am in the process of using the local library and Museums for information but if anyone has anything in their collections please could you share?
Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mark.
