I late 1952 we moved from "Fursty" to Bitburg AFB. It was a new base built by a French contractor. Bitberg is on the West side of Germany located about midway, north & south.
The thing I remember about it was there was MUD everywhere. Many sidewalks were not finished and since it was the beginning of winter there was mud up to your ankles in many places.
If I recall the new base was located in the "French Sector" of Germany so we had to provide our own security. I know I pulled guard duty for the first time since I got to Germany. We were spoiled at "Fursty" where we had Polish Guards.
The following several pictures were of Bitburg as we were trying to turn it into a new base.
