I originally arrived in Germany via the 165th MP company in Fishbach b. dahn, a security company, in November '64. In late Oct, '65 I was fortunate enough to go white hat duty with the 536th MP company in Muhich. From there there was a Platoon in Bad Tolz, with the 10th special Forces et al. From Munich, I was sent to Bad Tolz in November 65. In Mid January? I was sent to Berchtesgaden, which had a squad based from the Platoon in Bad Tol. So from Jan 66' To April 67, I spent such hard duty in the Gaden. April 67, I was returned bach to Munich, as I was being discharged in June of 67.
My wife to be and I traveled to Europe for about 3 1/2 weeks in July-August 1999. and part of that time was a return to B'Gaden. Such changes and a bit mind boggling to say the least. I was able to connect up with Kurt Engler, our interpretor, during my original stay in B'Gaden. He has not really changed all that much, from when I last saw in in '67 to 32 years later in '99. He still had that smile, chuckle and sense of humor. He and his wife own and operate a womens clothing shop, Near the Marketplatz. Other than that, I still found the people to be friendly and a bit outgoing. Do I wish to return? Not sure on that front.....maybe a reunion there some day, might get my interet to stir a bit.
Stay in touch and hoist a beer ...........!!!!!!!! (or twelve)
