Hi Oldtimer, Yes, I know Ken Connor. As I stated I really feel sure that the intelligence gathered by the Brits was more fruitful than that of the Soxmis in the British Sector, although, I guess I will never really know. I would say that because Brixmis was so big there was most definitly more room for manouvre, Lol. You are also very correct to say what you have regarding Secrets etc, LOl.

yes we had a much bigger contingent then soxmis most of the work like you say was boring but we had some big successes. ken was responsible for what is now known as the biggest find.
whilst ken and graham geary were searching the rubbish bins at the soviet barracks at neustrelitz in east germany they found a log book in neat cyrillic script and technical drawings. it turned out to be detailed data on the t-64 and t-80 soviet battle tanks giving all its strengths and weakness. i had hoped to go to brixmis but at that time i was the commanders driver at 2 div hq and he would not let me go, but as it was a cushy number i did not complain to much and got back to bunde a lot to see my mates.

Hi All
If i am right this was the unit that keept an eye on them.?????

Brian.

As far as I know the 'white mice' (those keeping an eye on SOXMIS) were 19 Support Platoon, 113 Provost Company, RMP. ( I did write 111 Pro Coy before but I was wrong)

I will try and find a picture of their plaque and post it on here later

As promised here is the plaque. However this could be an unofficial plaque, I don't know.



I also have this for your interest:



On the left is an RMP car, on the right is a SOXMIS car[/url]

Hi Sonofsoxmis
Very nice plaques,if you ever sell them, please give me first offer.
I have about 10 RMP plaques in my collection,all from BAOR Germany
and 1 from Berlin.
And this

Hi Great Plaques, especially the old, very old 19 SP Platoon one, very collectable. I have seen the top one or one very similar and I own the rest myself and clearly much more. Such great times and such great memorabilia.
19 Support Platoon were part of 110, 113 & 114 over their time of operation. Strange thing was that no particular unit wanted responsibility for them because of the political climate.
I principle they were independant but, a provost company had to administrate their needs and, of course it made the unit members accountable to a provost RMP Unit.

Hi whitemicebaor
Can you send me some photos of your plaques.

I will be glad to but, it will take a while as they are boxed at present due to moving, soon as I am sorted I will drop you a line.

Our last quarter in BAOR backed ont the SOXMIS compound in Bunde !!
