Fourth
Allied Tactical Air Force, 1970s
(Source:
Ronald Hauber, 750th
Feldjäger Battalion, Bundeswehr)
Picture
taken in 1973 shows General Eade (deputy commander in chief
of the U.S. European Command), with two German Air Force
generals visiting the NATO Radar Early Warning System which
was in underground bunker (Bunker "Martin") on the
Heuberg near Messtetten in the Schwaebische Alb mountains,
SW Germany. The radar station was operated by the Radarführungsabteilung
22 of the 1.
Luftwaffen-Division. The photo shows a German MP escort
team (3. Co. Feldjäger Btn. 750 Stuttgart) with BMW
500 motorcycles. I'm the young sergeant on the left side.
(Gen Eade probably flew in with the Huey - from EUCOM Avn
Det? - while the German officers arrived by motorcade with
Feldjäger escort.)
