Lee Barracks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lee Barracks were military barracks in Mainz, Germany. It was named after United States Army Captain Robert Elward Lee (1920–1945), who as a first lieutenant had performed a particularly courageous mission on November 17, 1944 (General Order October 11, 1956) during World War II. It was often mistakenly assumed that the barracks was named after the 19th century general of the Army of Northern Virginia Robert Edward Lee. Today, large parts of the Mainz-Gonsenheim district are located on the property.
