I lived in the Furth housing where I attended first through third grades. I’m 72 years old so that should give you an idea of when I lived there. The photos of the housing and the Kaserne brings back a lot of memories. I remember the front gate, the exchange/snack bar and the commissary and particularly, the theater where I spent many a pleasant Saturday. We were in three story housing, one unit over from a main thoroughfare/tram that went into Nurnburg. There was a local soccer field on the other side of the road and a great little candy stores just to the west of it.
A magic place for a young boy; particularly the Christmas market on the church square in Nurnburg. At the time Soldier’s Field was still relatively intact with just the swastika gone. I was fortunate to have a father who was a constant explorer, we traveled extensively throughout Germany and Austria.
As I said, a magical time and place for a young boy, until my father took me to visit a camp and I started to understand… Years later, I saw photos of that same church square, crowded with smiling men in uniforms instead of smiling Christmas shoppers. Kind of took the magic away.
