    Josef Kramer's house at Belsen was still being used in the 1970's to house the guards and dogs for the ammunition compound for troops stationed at Hohne. Belsen was at the end of the Hohne Garrison with only a few fields segregating the two camps.

    Wednesday afternoons was always the Britishicon Armys sport afternoon and I would usually find myself running around the permiter of Belsen on our normal x cross country route, if you were fly enough you put a 10 DM note in your shorts and had a beer at the "Snake Pit" opposite the REME gates on the way back!
