I had the privilege of working for European Stars & Stripes as a civilian in the 70s, able to travel throughout Europe. Visiting any city not ravaged by the wars is a unique and rewarding experience. Everyone/anyone would appreciate their visit.

Mark,
Thanks for looking. I agree that the visitors who travel to Europe today will be impressed and probably unaware of the ruination that WWII caused.

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.
Thanks for posting.
My Great Grandparents were from Germany and spoke German in their home. My Great Grandmother taught my Grandmother the roast pork, potato dumplings and cabbage dinner. My Grandmother taught this to my Mother and my Mother taught my Wife this fantastic meal. At almost 75 years old, I still get to enjoy this meal. I hope our daughter will learn how to make everything for this so it can be passed down another generation.

The food! The town I lived in had 700 people. Even smaller towns close buy with small restaurants. Likely impossible to own a restaurant in a town of 500 people unless the food was exceptional !

to Ed48 and Mark,
Interesting that you both remarked on the great food. The food traditions from Germany are basically those of eastern Europe. My mother's family came from a location that was close to the now Ukrane but when they left to come to USA it was part of the Hungarian territory. I grew up with roast pork, dumplings, cabbage ...very middle European diet. My Grandmother was also the best baker...better than any of her daughters.
Most of my food in Germany was while I was in the army, so for most of those two years it was mess hall food.
I was glad to get home for the food.
Thanks for your notes.
