Outside work there was some fantastic fishing and lots of areas to run in. I think the site should be preserved for posterity.bob hodgsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15110991.post-57964998968378610322012-04-04T16:37:49.770+02:002012-04-04T16:37:49.770+02:00Following up on this, a colleague and I have been ...Following up on this, a colleague and I have been working with and at the T-berg for the past year. We are archaeologists interested in telling the story of this site through the buildings and fabric that remains. We have written an essay (for publication in June) and have been commissioned to write a book on the subject. Like Adelita we would like to have the opportunity to talk with veterans specifically about how the buildings and rooms were used and for what, and what was the nature of relations between British and US personnel. I would appreciate a contact for the Field Station Berlin Veterans Group, for example.

However, we may not forget that we completed the mission very well and achieved half a century of stability in Europe. As for the feelings, I see them as nostalgia, not because of the era of Cold War we worked in, but for the work we did and how we did it.<br /><br />All the bestDirk Rijmenantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973502421787834920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15110991.post-41496219167278297722009-07-01T20:42:42.808+02:002009-07-01T20:42:42.808+02:00As a US Army linguist who was stationed at Field S...As a US Army linguist who was stationed at Field Station Berlin from 1968 - 1971 and worked at Site 3 (our designation for the Teufelsberg site), I view its current graffiti plastered state with mixed emotions. That it is no longer of use and abandoned indicates our role in protecting the city, Germany, and Europe was successful. Still, I do not like to think of it passing without note, like the rubble it rests atop.<br /><br />For that reason, I support the efforts of the Field Station Berlin Veterans group to preserve at least a portion of it as a remembrance of the site's effectiveness for almost half a century.Lew McDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08860369915817753728noreply@blogger.com
