97th General Hospital Frankfurt Germany

The 97th General Hospital was a prominent U.S. Army medical facility located in Frankfurt, Germany, established shortly after World War II. Originally activated in August 1944, the hospital played a vital role in providing medical care to American military personnel and their families stationed in Europe during the Cold War. Throughout its operational years, the 97th General Hospital supported numerous military operations, including the Berlin Airlift and later deployments to the Middle East. The hospital was eventually closed in 1992 as part of the post-Cold War drawdown of U.S. forces in Germany.
