Thanks, I appreciate your words, and it´s no different from what I have heard from others on this subject. I promise to invite a group of you to a beer or two when I get the chance to meet some GI´s in autumn.

Hey, Michael I like your choice of Kanzler-Adenauer was a fine Kanzler, so was von Bismark.
When I was living in Goettingen some were in between Kassel and Hann-Muenden, I was/am member to the same Partei CDU/CSU and Franz Josef Strauss was my main man.

Boy Franz Josef was kicking Willi Brand's butt. SPD back then was a very powerful Partei.
I can not believe that Joschka Fisher of Die Gruennen is the aussenminister! That guy is verrueckt!
