141st
Tank Battalion, probably 1952/53
(unknown photographer)
141st Tank Bn armored
vehicles are loaded onto flat cars at a military railhead, possibly
in the Stuttgart area.
(Photos
are from a photo album without a name or additional references.
However, photos included Nellingen near Stuttgart and Fliegerhorst
Ksn in Hanau and a truck with
unit markings. Date on back of pictures state they were taken in
September 1952. My guess is they were taken by a member of the 141st
Tank Bn just after they arrived in the European theater. The unit
must have been located at Nellingen for a brief time before moving
to Fliegerhorst in Hanau. This is very possible as the former Hanau
Signal Depot (= Fliegerhorst) was probably being rehabiliated after
the Signal Depot moved to Pirmasens.)
