BERLIN (AP) -- Berlin authorities say they shot and killed a 120 kilogram (265-pound) wild boar after it attacked and injured four people including a police officer in a residential neighborhood.

Wild boars are relatively common in green Berlin, though rarely cause problems beyond digging up gardens.

Understood. At the time, Berlin was my dream station and the fact the Army actually sent me there was surprising :)

I actually was able to take all three modes of transportation into West Berlin: The Duty Train, driving the corridor and flying out on Pan Am. Never felt “trapped” and tried to use our time there to get out and see other places.

The first day we were able to travel outside of Berlin after reunification, I drove my 1985 Ford Tempo to Zossen-Wunsdorf. Just to check out the “sites” :) There was a fairly decent size flea market just outside of the Soviet base there. Parked my car and did some shopping at the flea market. Got back to my car and there was a small crowd of East Germans and a few Soviet soldiers standing around my Tempo, which was parked in a sea of Trabants. I keep telling myself they must have thought it was a sports car :-)
