Thanks!
Your writings have me confused.
I’ll give it a try tomorrow.
PS: Federwein and Zwiebelkuchen season is right around the corner,,,,
What? No more schikelgrubben, baby?
My wife feels the same way as I do. There ARE some decent Germans also. I did not label every one of them that way.
I am so jealous. That is the 2nd best time of year in Germany, imho. Weinachtsmarkt season is the best.
We stopped at a little Gasthaus on the Weinstrasse between Kaiserslautern and Bad Kreuznach....just picked it at random.
The zwiebelkuchen was soooo homemade. They had the top of the cake crusted in crispy bacon/pork (tiny diced kasseler kamm, perhaps) The federweisser had that sweet, gritty flavor that tastes like nothing else.
Thanks for sharing, Gamey. Freeze some for me. I'll be by to pick it up when you come back to conus.
It’s OK. Every nation has its educators, press and politicians who influence the masses.

Merkel to Obama: “Do you know Germany? Should I show you on a map?”
OH Brother! With your attitude & the number of years you spent in Germany, it's a wonder there are any friendlies left in Deutschland.
I suspect your attitude spread like a disease.
In any case you are the conquers/occupiers.....Do you expect us to love you?
And with BS like you are tossing around and your user name, you appear to be one of those that treated US troops like dog crap. Nice user name fritz.
Naw, never had that opportunity. I was too young to understand who you people were. Then my parents brought me here. That's when YOUR kids treated me like dog crap.
Nice user name fritz
Thanks, real glad you like it!
I 've lived among you since 1952. BUT I'm 110% (as you say) Fritz.
However, the time I spent at Bitburg/Spangdahlem (USAF) contradicts everything you report. Germans are some of the nicest people you could meet. Also had interactions with Brits, Italians, Swedes & Dutch. I didn't act like Conan the conquerer. So we all got along & had a good time.
Maybe that was your problem, acting like a conquerer.
