Stationed in Berlin Brigade, 2nd Bn 6th INF, 1982-1985. Saw lots of stuff you wouldn’t believe.

Glad you are back. Loved your home page.

” He laid in “no man’s land” for 50 minutes and eventually bled to death before the East German guards retrieved his body.”

The US could have attempted to send a military ambulance to attempt to retrieve him; it probably would have been
delayed or stopped by the guards. But, at least we could have made the gesture.
However, the State Dept. thought such a gesture would have been provocative, and so the ambulance wasn’t sent.

You should have picked up some very inexpensive East German Zeiss binoculars in East Berlin while you were there. The selling prices on Ebay on some of them are several hundred $$ these days.
