Back in the 80s when I was tanker, we were doing some shared range time at Grafenwøhr with some German tankers. One of the germans was walking around with a jump about every 3rd step. The guys in his unit said that he was walking between tanks during a stationary night gunnery and had been about 15 feet from a main gun when it went off in the pitch darkness next to him. Shook him up quite a bit.
Do you perhaps mean Grafenwöhr?
