Greetings,
I hope you will find these of interest. The first eight are from 1955. the last two are 1956 and 1996. I enjoyed a (mostly) great experience in Germany [1954-1955] courtesy of Uncle Sam. The travels in Europe that I managed to make will never be forgotten. We were not permitted to visit eastern Europe then due to the cold was and our military assignments, but I have been back many times since without border restrictions as a civilian.
At any rate, I enjoyed taking these and I hope you will not be bored.

If I’m not mistaken the first shot in Oberammergau is the Wolf Hotel. A favorite place to sit outside and have a roast pork, potato dumplings and red cabbage dinner. Oh, and a weiss bier.

Thanks for posting.

Mr. Barnett,
I believe you may be right about the hotel. While my memory isn't what it used to be, that name does sort of resonate in my head.
Anyway, thank you very much for bringing back some food memories for me.

I too was allowed to visit Germany by the U S Army. I was stationed in West Berlin from Feb.1961 until Aug.1963. Did some travelling back and forth from Berlin to West Germany and back to keep the 110 mile stretch of autobahn open. Germany is a beautiful country and I have been blessed to return 3 times for military Reunions.Ich Liebe Berlin.

JR.,
Thanks for your interest and response. My wife and I finally did get to the eastern part of Europe and among other treats, loved Berlin. If physically able, I would be delighted to go back one more time.
