If the museum is staying open, that's good. But I still remember all the "Ami Go Home!" signs that appeared at the end of the Cold War, when the Germans felt like they didn't need us any more. Well, we DID go home, and we took our money with us. I understand that the little German towns that used to make money gouging the Americans would love to have the nasty old Amis (and their money) back. I will really enjoy watching American troops leave Germany for Romania and Bulgaria.
Me too, and I look forward to having a bunch of them move back to the States. We can deploy them most places from here faster than from overseas, esp. when you factor in diplomatic niceties...
In 1981-83 I saw "Amis Raus!" spraypainted on walls. Rumors that the local gougers had stockpiled East German Reichsmarks to make change when the Warsaw Pact `liberators' arrived. Street signs in cellars with names of Communist heroes ready to go up when that happened. A "Karl-Marx-Strasse" in every German town. The Greens running rampant (Die Gruenen).
Then a happier note: every bridge or overpass on the autobahn has premolded holes for packing explosives to blow them up in case of invasion. Some Greens were caught filling in the holes, and got the living s@#t beat out of them by outraged locals.
As to the Checkpoint Charlie museum, I think the main complex is safe. I'm skeptical about the date, though.
