Des Gouttes
Kaserne, Bad Kreuznach -
actually a French caserne constructed during the French occupation
of the Rhineland (end of WWI to 1930). A
French army soldier stands guard outside of Des Gouttes Caserne. The
French again assigned a garrison to it after WWII as Bad Kreuznach
was part of their Zone of Occupation. The U.S. Army moved into the
kaserne when the 2nd Armored Division arrived to replace French forces
in 1951. (Oeffentlicher Anzeiger Newspaper, Bad Kreuznach) |
