“Those were the days! Now just a memory. Grafenwoehr without the sound of tank and artillery going off, had to believe.”
Graf was OK, I preferred going there compared to Hohenfels.
My last time at Graf, the entire 1AD road marched from Graf to Hohenfels.
The first convoy out of the gate onto 299 ended up having some LN pancake himself into the back of the M-88 trail vehicle. I want to say that it was 2/68 Armor. After that, every convoy had a heavy MP, German MP, and Politzi escort, and every vehicle had at least on VS-17 panel draped over the back.
LN?
That reminds me of when we were in a convoy at Ft. Hood in the 70's. I was running a track behind a gasser M-88 one night. Since it was pretty cold, I was a little closer than I should have been to get some warmth off of his exhaust.
That is until he let off going down a small hill and that big 12 cylinder Continental backfired. Kept my distance after that.
