Well, this is the 70th anniversary of the day that I THOUGHT was the liberation of Kaiserslautern, but I am off by a week or two. Somewhere in my house I have the Kaiserslautern newspaper article from March 1995 about the 50th year anniversary but have not found it (yet).
Also, Churchill was really a gallant leader for liberty, it appears to me. His scolding of the Labor Minister is awesome!
Off by 10 days.
On 20 March 1945, as the last of the 1st Army crossed the Rhine at Remagen, the U.S. 80th Division, 319th Infantry, part of the 3rd US Army, seized Kaiserslautern without resistance.
Reading the wiki page on Kaiserslautern I see NATO has a post there 45,000 personell. Never heard of the place.
