Tomsyck > This is a duplicate postcard posted in this gallery.  Here, you see that the Swastikas are visibile on the flags on this postcard. This is the entrance to Priesterwald Kaserne, which was later the secondary gate to Wharton Barracks. (e.g. used when the 237th went to the field) I believe the 2 buildings on the right are still standing today and can be seen on google earth & maps. I bought this postcard in eBay in July 2008, it is postmarked 1 APR 1942.
Tomsyck > A rare postcard of Schlieffen Kaserne.  I bought it in eBay in February 2008. It was sent as Feldpost on 30.9.1940.

Tomsyck > A view of Priesterwald Kaserne on an original postcard that was postmarked on 13 FEB 1942.  I believe these 2 buildings still stand today. I purchased this in eBay in December 2007.
Tomsyck > Various shots from Priesterwald Kaserne in Heilbronn, which was merged with Schlieffen Kaserne after WWII to form Wharton Barracks.  The 237th Engineer Battalion was housed in most of these buildings.  Note that the photo in the upper right hand corner of this postcard is also posted in this gallery - the building that has the Heilbronn sign in front of it.  Too bad that all of these buildings were torn down except for 2 of them - viewable on Google Maps.

Tomsyck > I believe these two buildings still stand today in the Schwabenhof Business Park in Heilbronn.
