| Cpl Jim Lynn, Rothwesten 1949. If I look just a tad ticked off, it was because just the day before we, a Detachment of about 20 ASA troops on this small Air Base operated by the 601st AC&W had been placed in a "line up" for viewing by a German "Frau" who claimed an attack by an "American Army GI". The USAF "Blue Suiters" were more than happy to force us to submit. She IDed no one but scared crap out of my Buddy Stan Heil when she came back to him for a second look after he laughed in her face the first time - Stan was quiet the second time. |
| The sign, on the wall of the stairway and a steel door into the attic operations area was our"security". One young USAF 2nd Lt did not take the sign serious, his curiosity got the better of him, he sneaked into ops but left in a helluva hurry when he heard an issue .45 Automatic being charged and felt the cold muzzle touching his temple!! |

| Det A, 114th Sig Svc Co was housed and worked in two floor plus attic. For those familar w/the old 601st AC&W base, the bldg was between the BX and Officers club, base perimenter fence was just at end of bldg. After we had been there long enough, Ops was moved into the attic, the two dormer windows both opened out from the manual morse section - 4 or 5 racks.. |
