My brother-in-law was stationed there about ten years after the war. He was a US Army courier who had a route across central Germany, with Schweinfurt in the middle of the route.

He told me about one Army installation, like most, a former Nazi base, he visited on his rounds. One day he looked up onto the hillside near the entrance. He saw a gigantic concrete swastika lying in the dense trees that evidently had been overlooked. They subsequently destroyed it.

Yea. Actually both of the barracks locations ( several miles apart) were ex-nazi housing areas for troops. Many of them had swastikas stamped out or broken apart.

Pretty eerie.
