I was there in the late 80’s. I remember the view looking into the Alps. I sure made some memories there

I lived on base from 1972 to 1976. All the buildings on the base were connected by underground tunnels.

Omg! I was stationed there when I was in the Air Force. Never took any pictures because it was such a gloomy and depressing place. But I did love Germany, had a great time my 3 years there.
