  1. I was not a “good soldier”, I was a “great American soldier”. We still operated in a status of forces that made us immune from fear of the German Polizei. It was a relief!

  2. Thank you for your deeply moving and reflecting words!
    The Coolwar was during my childhood and my youth in Germany …
    just remembering the negative and positive thoughts, expieriences and
    things that happend at this time.
    Yeah! The radio with the best and most interesting music was the radio from the US base nearby Stuttgart. 😉
    Sunny greetings from Göppingen Germany!
