Chris Scheibel posted a status"Still searching for Steven D. Cramer. served at the Pond Barracks 71-74. AFAIK in the Hawk unit or Howitzer Btry. Any help is appreciated."
Chris Scheibel replied to Eric Heller's discussion Amberg--LTA in the group Amberg"Thank you, I am sure that will help me a lot. I shall get back to you for a few more questions later, if I may.
That area indeed was a local training area for the Bundeswehr."
Chris Scheibel replied to Eric Heller's discussion Amberg--LTA in the group Amberg"Out of personal interest - does anyone remember which unit the Hawks belonged to? Were they part of the 3/2 ACR like the Pond Barracks or were they part of a dedicated air defense unit?
Was anyone of you stationed there between '70 and…"

- Looking for Steven D. Kramer (Cramer?)
He was at Pond Barracks from '68 - '73
His was in the Artillery troop, maybe Hawk Missiles
Any help would be much appreciated
(Ex) Amberg resident
As I grew up in and around Amberg and also spent a fair share of time at Pond Barracks I'm happy to see so many of you have fond memories about their time in Amberg.
And probably I have seen some of you in MC's, Happy Rock or the Harmony so a heartfelt 'Hello' from me to you guys.
Amberg never has been the same since the Army left.
Why I'm here:
I am looking for a soldier who was in Amberg from 1969 - 1973 or 1974.
As I learnt recently he is my father, whom I have never met.
The latest info I got was that he served in an artillery troop or the HAWK troup.
His name is Steven D. Cramer or Kramer. The D. could stand for Duane or David - I am not sure here.
He was from (Anaheim?) California.
Any help would be much appreciated.
