When I worked the E/W German border back in 1975-78, the old timers who lived on the "good" side of the border loved us...of course they all fought on the Russian front, never fought Americans, blah, blah. But they were truly happy we were there. For the grace of God, they could have been living on the east side of the border.

Go to a big city like Berlin? They hated us, the marxists morons.

I was in the Cav (Armored Cavalry for you civilians) back in the early 80's. We visited the border near Fulda and I remember the difference between the "border" and "city" Germans. It was night and day.

I never forgot that their fathers and grandfathers had tried to kill my father and family when they occupied Greece and dad fought them in North Africa. I will never trust the Europeans. Most I ever met hate America.
