Merrell Barracks 3/10/1992

After the Gulf War, I had some extra cash so I bought a video camera. Very unusual thing to have in the early 90s.
This is a short walk inside a small section of the West wing shortly before the 2nd ACR returned this massive building back to the Germans and redeployed back to the United States.
This was taken March 10, 1992, a couple days after I bought the camera, so I was still learning how to operate it. My apologies for the shaky/crooked footage.
You might want to ignore my commentary. Most of it is wrong, but I didn't want to remove the sound of the halls. We were taught the history of the 2nd ACR during our orientation. We had to learn the history of the SS Barracks (Merrell Barracks) and Zeppelin Field on our own, via word of mouth. No Google or Wikipedia back in 1992.
At the time of this video we were in the process of redeploying back to the United States so the place was very unkept and in disarray. Many of the rooms were already emptied-out, and in the video, especially as we passed the 3rd floor, you can see all the mattress bed springs, night stands and other furniture stacked out in the hallway.
12:32 shows the buildings with the gym and bowling ally, which no longer exists.
13:12 has a quick shot of the NCO club, which also no longer exists.
Enjoy. I doubt there is another video of the inside of Merrell Barracks before it was returned to the German government.
