deddygetty Posted November 29, 2011 Share #204 Posted November 29, 2011 This is "Sgt. Nero", a Nazi SS police dog that was captured during the closing of the Rurh Pocket by the 99th Cavalry Reconnaissance Troop (Mechanized), 99th Infantry Division. After some quick retraining involving a few good meals, Sgt. Nero became a working member of the Recon Troop for the remainder of the war and was responsible for capturing a few German POW's. This photo was taken in Gerolzhofen, Germany where 99th Recon ended up after the war, guarding POW's at a nearby camp. The building in the background, a former Nazi youth camp, is the billets of the 99th Recon officers. The arm in the photo belongs to Sgt. Gerald Eickmeier, Sgt. Nero's trainer and companion. I was told that when the last of the 99th Recon left Gerolzhofen they couldn't take Sgt. Nero with them, and he followed the train for miles before they finally lost sight of him.

gunbarrel Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share #215 Posted March 16, 2012 Thanks again, everyone. I hadn't seem some of the latest posts. They are all great--keep them coming! :thumbsup: "If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went." -Will Rogers "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself." -Josh Billings "We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made." -M.Facklam "Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate." -Sigmund Freud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon after his handler fell asleep, the Belgian Malinois would crawl out from their tarp-covered foxhole and stand guard over him through the night, often in torrential rains.

Oddball names are not uncommon among military working dogs, whose breeders, usually from Europe, name them. "I trust her with my life. If I didn't trust her, I wouldn't be here," Army Staff Sergeant Marcus Bates says of his Belgian Malinois, Davy N532, during their deployment in Afghanistan.
