Although I was not a "Pershing Soldier", often during the Cold War I heard that our Pershing 1a Missiles, soon to be Pershing 2's, helped bankrupt the bad guys. I took these photos at Wiley Barracks, Neu Ulm, West Germany in 1969-70. Nearby units were detailed to pull constant Guard Duty, in this case with the 1/81st Arty. These must be their Pershings prepping to convoy out somewhere. I definitely remember guarding live and empty ammo bunkers (read Nuclear warheads). We "guarded" more empty bunkers than those with live warheads to fool any locals who might have Commie leanings. At least that was the scuttlebutt, again, I was not in a Pershing Unit. The more we fooled them with our inventory and locations, the quicker we bankrupted them. You're Welcome!
