  • I am looking for personnel who was at the 15th U.S. Army Headquarters in Bad nauheim, Germany, at the Jeschke´s Hotel! Who has still vivid memories about the service in this Grand Hotel, now in April 1945 HQ of the 15th Army? Who knew General Patton, who lived for some weeks in Bad Nauheim, at the Höhenstrasse 21? Who has old photos from the military time in Bad Nauheim, Hess in 1945 onwards? Who was pilot of Piper L-4 "Grasshopper" light observation plane, stationed at na airstrip between Bad nauheim, Griedberg/Hess and Ockstadt? Answers please to PeterRedhill@outlook.com Thanks!
  • My father was the elevator boy when Patton stayed there I have an original letter commending him for service in 1947 from and on the Grand Hotel stationary. My email is Kiramaton@verizon.net the letter is in German
