Kaserne means casern (or Fasan and pheasant or fast and fast) – here we have 
pronounced normal LATIN SMALL LETTER S.

The German Mast sounds like must – with some sharply pronounced LATIN SMALL 
LETTER S.
Fass (barrel) is pronounced like fuzz – if the zeds would be s.
Maß (some kind of measure) is pronounced a bit like ma, Mars, marsh.

LATIN SMALL LETTER S, ß, makes the vowel before ß sound long while ss makes it 
short. In the new orthography of D, A, CH (or DE, AT, CH).
