[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]urbanrealtor: Which Army base? My first command was an armored cavalry platoon (11th ACR) up in the Fulda Gap area. Germany was sooooo fun when the Russkies were there: I loved being overflown by jets with little red stars on the wings.

It was the hospital between Nuernberg and Furth.

I don’t know if the army spells it nuremburg or if they have an American version of Furth and I do not recall the name of the base itself. I do recall it had a very distinctive German imperial eagle at the front gate (it had a wall) that our army had tried to make look more like an American eagle (by painting it). I was kind of horrific.

But Germany and Bavaria in particular I remember being quite beautiful (especially the altshtatt).
