Story was, back in the 1970’s, a Pershing missile battery on the way to Grafenwoehr got lost and tried to cross the Czechoslovakian border, where they were politely turned away by a Czechoslovakian border guard. On another occasion a U.S. Army patrol wandered into a Czechoslovakian town, which they mistook for German. They entered a local Gasthaus, and ordered some Schnitzel und Beir. While they were dining the local constable showed up and told them they better get back to Germany before he and they wound up getting into a lot of trouble. I’m sure the publican appreciated getting paid in dollars and Deutschmarks.
God bless the Eastern Europeans, thank you for your praise and welcome for our soldiers!
