Sonthofen Military Delegation
to Attend 60th
Anniversary Constabulary Reunion
National Commander Lou Lynn has
received word that the Military Police School of the German Federal
Armed Forces in Sonthofen, Germany, is sending a delegation of three
staff officers to attend the USCA 60th Anniversary Reunion in Orlando. Col.
Holger Müller, Commandant of the Military Police School, made the announcement
in a letter to National Commander Lynn.
The former Ordensburg and Hitler Youth School
was used in 1946-1948 as the training site to prepare
Constabulary Troopers to carry out their duties and responsibilities
in the American occupied zone of Germany. The School closed
in June of 1948. Since it’s opening in March, 1946, 3,546
officers and 10,880 enlisted men were graduated. Shortly
after the closing of the school in 1948 the 91st Field Artillery moved
into its new home at Sonthofen. In 1953 the Burg Sonthofen
was turned over to the German government. Today’s training
program at the Military Police School includes many of the
same subjects that were taught back there in 1946.
