I joined the Labor Service organization in August 1950 in the Hansaallee in Frankfurt (Webmaster note: location of Hqs, Frankfurt Military Post). I was sent to Gutleut Kaserne (Frankfurt) for training and then we were relocated to the Rheingau Kaserne, near the Frankfurter Messe (convention center).
After a while, I was sent for assignment to the 4018th Labor Service Company at Camp Eschborn. The 6932nd Labor Center (Guard), APO 757, was the higher headquarters.
Over 55 years have past since I served with the Labor Service. I can't remember any of the names of my comrades. Initially we were billeted in so called Nissen huts but later moved into stone barracks.

I do remember that our company commander was Capt riedrich G. Neldner; company officers were Herr Zimmermann, Herr Baumann and Herr Lache.
If I remember correctly, the 4020th LS Company was also located at Eschborn at the time.
I left the Labor Service in 1955. |

(Translated from German)
I am surprised to see a website dedicated to the former labor service units. I am very interested because I myself served with the 4019th Guard Company under Capt Carl A. Ritz from 1953-54.
We initially lived in Nissen huts, and later moved into real barracks.
I am sending you some photos in the hope that you wioll post them on your website.
