I just now am going through my grandfathers stuff. He died in 2003. He retired from the Army in 1965, Lt. Col. Carl P. Croninger. I have found a photo essay (in chronological order) of (Gen Joseph T.) McNarney's change of command in Germany after WW2. I had been wondering all week what those pictures were from, as none of the buildings were labeled and everyone shown was "nicknamed", but the names were close enough and there were multiple references to "snack bars". Webmaster note: Gen McNarney was commander of US Forces, European Theater (USFET) from Nov 26, 1945 until March 15, 1947. (On that same day, USFET is discontinued and replaced by the European Command.) Lt Gen Geoffrey Keyes served as commander of Third US Army from April 1946 until Jan 9, 1947 (he was sent to Austria where he assumed command of USFA). He was replaced by Maj Gen Ernest N. Harmon as acting commander until Third Army was officially inactivated on March 15, 1947. (Third US Army transferred its major responsibilities to the US Constabulary.) |
