Memmingen Germany DF Detachment
Memmingen Detachment like the other DF Detachments controled by Bad Aibling, among many designations, wereassigned at one time to the 186th ASA Company (SIT - DF and RFP). The detachments were later moved to the 180th Co /Co A of the 320th ASA Bn (Bad Aibling) after the 186th was discontinued.

We had to use their restrooms but in the winter there was a lot of yellow snow and in the summer the product of the honey wagons on the fields hid anything we might do so sometimes we didn't make the trip if no one was around." Paul Marshall.
Excerpt from email received from Jim Sessoms:
In Memmingen, we had excellent hearability and could work just about anybody's targets from there -- and I suspect that's why Herzo (318th ASA Bn) decided to collocate a Det with us -- plus we had all the primary logistics problems worked out. Though their folks lived in another town, their equipment was set up right next to ours. We co-existed quite well!
