Bill Tevington remembers the games the
Russians
played just after W.W.II when he was on occupation duty in
Germany.
One of their favorite tricks was to move the markers that designated
the
line between the U.S. and Soviet zones and wait to snare
unsuspecting
American troops patrolling the border.
Julian McCalla remembers too. He
was held at gunpoint by Russian guards in the Soviet sector of Berlin
for
the crime of accidentally crossing the demarcation line. A member
of the 16th Squadron, U.S. Constabulary, the U.S. Army's police and
border
patrol force in postwar Germany and Austria. McCalla and
his
partner were pursuing a Russian soldier for theft in the U.S.
zone.
As McCalla's jeep neared the Russian zone, he noticed that the warning
signs had been moved. Before he had time to react his jeep was
surrounded
by armed Russian guards and he was looking down a barrel.
McCalla need not have worried. The
Russians had grabbed him for ransom. His release was assured, the
grim features of his captors turned to smiles once McCalla's superiors
sent over cigarettes and whiskey. Tevington remembers this was
the
standard fare at the time for the release of "captured" Americans.
The year was 1946. The Cold War was
just beginning along the Iron Curtain. But a year after the end
of
W.W.II no one quite knew or understood the Russians intentions.
Their
behavior was annoying but not yet completely Machiavellian.
By 1948, however, relations between the
Americans and Russians were ugly. The Soviets blockaded Berlin
and
the demarcatino between East and West from the Baltic to the Adriatic,
and in Berlin, became a no man's land of barbed wire fences and
minefields.
Unique Unit
First on Curtain
In 1946, the men who patrolled the borders
of the American sectors in Germany, Austria and Berlin, particularly
those
contiguous with the Soviet zones, were part of the U.S. Constabulary,
one
of the more unique forces ever assembled by the U.S. Army.
Named for a similar force that brought
order to the Philippines after the insurrection of the early 1900's,
the
Constabulary in occupied Europe became officially operational in July
1946.
It was designed both for border patrol
and internal police duties in the U.S. zone of Germany, an
administrative
area of some 43,000 square miles, rough the size of Pennsylvania.
Its jurisdiction also included the U.S. zones in Austria and Berlin, as
well as the Bremen enclave.
Leading the Constabulary in 1946 was the
blunt and growling Maj.Gen. Ernest Harmon, the W.W.II armored
commander
who whipped the Constabulary into shape from a smattering of disbanding
and generally undisciplined units.
Harmon dressed his Constabulary troops
in blue and gold striped helmet liners, Sam Browne belts over dress
blouse
or Eisenhower jacket, golden neckerchief made from parachute silk,
yellow
gloves and paratrooper boots, with yellow laces, polished to a gleam.
Their shoulder patch was a large blue C
on a circular yellow shield, pierced by a red lightning bolt. The
men of the U.S. Constabulary became known affectionately and sometimes
not so affectionately, as the "Circle C Cowboys" Germans called them
the
"Blitz Polizei", or "Lightning Bolt Police".
The Constabulary's peak authorized strength
was 35,000 men organized into three brigades and 10 regular
regiments.
Each regiment had three patrols squadrons and each squadron had five
troops.
One regiment, the 4th was assigned duty in Austria. One of its
squadrons,
the 16th, served in Berlin. The units were seldom at full
strength
since men were constantly rotated home.
The Constabulary also employed horse
cavalry
units, arguably the last ever used in the Army. Some 10 platoons
of 30 horse soldiers each patrolled the borders of Germany,
Austria
and Berlin. They carried their rifles in "scabbards," and wore
britches
and cavalry boots. They may have made old cavalrymen proud, but
the
horse soldiers of the Constabulary often were a grand amusement to
the
mechanized GIs of 1946. Nevertheless, horses were ideal for riot
control in refugee camps and on border patrol, particularly in heavily
forested frontier areas and supplemented jeeps and armored cars forming
most of the patrol units.

I am Al Inlow and I joined the Army in 1948, in those days
you
had a choice of Joining the Second Cav. in Korea, Alaska, or the
US Constabulary in Germany. I chose the Constabulary, so upon
completion
of Basic Training at Fort Ord California, I was put on a troop train to
cross the US to Camp Kilmer N.J. waiting for further shipment to Bremen
haven Germany aboard the Bernard J. Ray. From Bremenhaven
by
train to Marburg for an assignment, which was on to Sonthoffen to the
91st
Field Artillery 155 howitzers. About a month after arrival we
changed
to the 519th Field Artillery Bn. We maneuvered all over Germany,
one of our main stopping areas was Vilseck. We had a Battery on
line
all the time at the Fulda Gap. Around 1951 we transferred to
Babenhausen,
near Frankfurt stayed in a tent City while they rebuilt our
barracks.
We had a 8" self propelled Bn move on the Camp with us as they
were
putting more troops into Germany as the Korean war was going on.
Our battalion helped set up a tent city in Baumholder for the 2nd
Armored
division who was in route to Germany at that time. 1952 we changed over
to Seventh Army and late 1952 returned to the U.S. for discharge.
Altogether I got about 15 years in Germany between the Army and
Civil Service.

knowledge, ONLY used by the 16th
Squadron as it was the ONLY U.S. Constabulary Squadron in East
Germany and was NOT part of the Zone Constabulary.
The 16th Constabulary Sqdn. (Sep) was the only
unit to wear a "tab" or "flash" with the word [CONSTABULARY]1/2 inch
ABOVE
their Circle C insignia. The tab or flash was only worn by troopers who
had been with the squadron for thirty (30) days and had not committed
any
offenses. If they did, the tab / flash was to removed from the
trooper's
uniform. However, after a while, a Troop officer could approve the
reissuring
the tab/flash to the Trooper who had misbehaved. The 16th
Squadron's FIRST commander was, then, Lieutenant
Colonel, Samuel
McClure GOODWIN.

My boss soon complained that baseball was taking up too much of my
time, so my baseball manager had me transferred to his office. I
assume that the history, some of which had already been written, was
about that squadron, not the entire constabulary, but I can’t remember
for sure. However, if anyone knows if it was ever finished, I’d
sure like to see a copy. It was a great experience.

Ms. Moore,
I am greatly impressed with your web site! It brought back many
memories
as I
scrolled through. I haven't seen all of it, but I look forward to a
more
leisurely "scroll" down memory lane when I have the time.
I arrived in Germany in early 1947 if my memory is correct. I do
recall
going
to Marburg where I was assigned to the First Con. Brigade Hq in
Weisbaden. I
was sent to radio school in Wetzler and returned to
Weisbaden
as a radio
operator. I can still remember the call signs of some of the
other units of
the First Brigade: we(Hq) were 1EN ("one easy nan") ;
others
were C49
(charley four niner) and 21J (two one jig). Repetition burned them
into my
memory.
I have been a member of the Constabulary Association for about a
year.
So far
I have not run across any familiar names. I intend to order a complete
roster
of the membership and expect to see some old friends' names on the
list.
Thank you for your efforts in providing this web site. In a way,
your
dad
becomes "Constabulary" personified, and all of us are honored by what
you
have done.

Stuttgart, Germany
I was in72nd Sqd. 10th Reg. in 1946 in Stuttgart, Germany. I remembered Capt. Walter J. Gonwa M.D. of Christman, IL and recently read in the bulletin that he has passed away. He came once to see me while I was in the hospital.
I was born in Miami, Florida. My tour in the Army was from 1944 to 1952. I took basic at Fort McClellan, Al. If anyone remembers me, please contact me through e-mail, I would like to hear from you.
I went by several names -- Jack, Doc. You may pass any of this on as I am on Webtv and not a computer.
I am a life long member in the US Constabulary Association.

Fussen and Nurnberg.
Was very surprised and pleased to find a site devoted to the US
Constabulary.
During all these years of asking questions about this fine
organization,
I thought I was the only one who knew of its existance. Guess I
should
"surf" the net more often. I was assigned to Svc Btry, 70th FA Bn
between
May 1950 to January 1952 at Fussen and Nurnberg. At that time I
reenlisted
for the Military Police from which I retired 19 years later (I joined
the
Army in Jan 1949 at the ripe age of 16.
Saw several individuals in your site who were at Fussen and will
be contacting them. Thank you very much for establishing this
site,
I hope you realize how important it is for an "old" Circle C Cowboy
like
me.

Constab.
Sqdrn. B Troop
I was with the 81st until the unit was deactivated. I was then
transfered to the 91/22 Sqdrn until I rotated
home in November 1948. I would like to locate James Turner
of B troop 81st Constabulary Squadron and Harold Cowart also of B
troop.
Anyone knowing these gentlemen please contact me as they were friends
of
mine and have lost track of them. They are not members of the
Association
but maybe someone out there knows them.
I would like to hear from fellow Constabulary members from the
era 1946 through 1948
and from any of the guys in these units during that period and how
many remember
the infamice 100 mile march.. Those were the glory days.
Thank you Irene for being such
a friend and helper of the Association.

Hessental and Augsburg Germany
I was a member of the Constabulary
Force from 1946 to 1948 when I left in the latter part of Nov.
to come back to the states for discharge in Feb, 1949. I was
stationed
in two places during my time over there, first in a place called Hessental
and
later in Augsburg with the Second Calvary. I can't for the
life
of me remember the units I guess old age is catching up to me. I am a
member
of Outpost 4 of the Constab. Association. I recently went to my first
Outpost
4 reunion in Chattanooga. I am looking for any information on how to
find
out what units I was in.

Degerndorf
I was assigned to
3rd. battalion. 6th Armored Calvary Service Co/HQ.
I served from
12/24/49
until 12/8/52. The first year in Degerndorf (in the middle
of the alps) and last 2 in Regensburg. I was a tank
Mechanic.
I got married in Regensburg in 1951 and still married to her. Its
a funny thing but I have not thought about the Constab until I came
across
this web site. Yesterday I bought a new computer desk, and when I
opened
box of hardware I found a "Circle C" patch on the bottom of box.
I found this
site looking for hotel rooms In Kassel Germany.

a very nice girl.)

Bad Hersfeld, Germany
I took a radio refresher course in Fritzlar in 1948.
Completed radio operator's course in Rothwesten aroung
May 1947, then went to 91st Constab in Bad Hersfeld. Married a
gal
from Sontra and we're still together. Spend about three months a year
in
Sontra and visit Bad Hersfeld and Kassel quite often. Kassel sure
changed
since I first visited there in 1947. Remember there was a brewery named
A Kropf Braueiri, used to trade cigarettes for good beer out of a can.
At that time it was being made for Amercans only. Some memories. Bad
Hersfeld
hasn't changed too much and the clock on top of Headquarters building
is
still running.
Carmel, California
I want to thank you all for putting
this web site together,
as I know how difficult and time
consuming
it can be. It is historical and I
hope the younger generation will see
it and realize how much effort we GIs
put in both in war and peace
time.
Without standing on a political platform I
sincerely wish the congress and our
senators and representatives would also
recognize our efforts and keep the
promises that the services made to us when
we were young and gullible
recruits.
On our fight for freedom, we must praise
those who didn't make it through and
support those who did.
