My first duty station was in Germany in the late 90's. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit a fair number of historical site. The Ardennes were.....wow, just wow. I had to explain the historical significance to some guys. My base, geiblestadt, was also a primary ME262 base. Walked through graveyards and saw headstones with death dates of 1914-18 and 1940-45. It was overwhelming for a history buff. On a side note, I've also been to serajavoe, and Babylon. Also went to Tunis, Tunisia, and saw the national memorial to our troops for the North Africa campaign. I count myself lucky.
Good old Uncle Sam paid for room and board, I was just smart enough to take advantage. I also talked to my German girlfriends grandmother. She was In her late 80's at the time, and she told me all about seeing the bombers, shellings, Russians, all sorts of stuff. My girlfriend lived in what was recently reunited east Germany. It was still cookie cutter communist looking at that time.
