Guten Tag

Hello,
I found your forum while searching for articles about the 89th Infantry Division, that was in Thuringia/Germany in April 1945, exactly in Eisenach/Gotha/Ohrdruf! I live nearby & I'm interested in the history! One member wrote a article in your archived forum!
If you have questions, feel free to ask!

No, this was the late 80's. My German teacher even then was pretty elderly. Aristus Sep 2012 #6

Herzlich willkommen neuen Freund und Mitglied des DU. Ich komme aus North Carolina. Meine erste Liebe war aus Hamburg. Wir treffen uns, wenn ich neunzehn war, und wir hatten einen unvergesslichen Sommer. Aber er hatte, nach Deutschland zurückzukehren und ich ging aufs College. Aber er schrieb mir die köstlichsten Briefe, die ich behielt alle diese Jahre in einer Box mit String. Auf meinem 21. Geburtstag, schickte er mir den größten Blumenstrauß, den ich je gesehen hatte. Ich hoffe, Sie haben Spaß. Ich werde versuchen, Ihnen zu helfen, wenn ich kann. Lächeln durch!

He was a lot of fun as a teacher. He would tell jokes in German and see who understood them enough to laugh. I got lots of practice for my German when I was stationed there in the Army. I loved it there, and I can't wait to go back someday.

It gave me the opportunity to see the East before the official reunification.

Here's a pic of me at a portion of the old border fence not far from Coburg:



This would be around June or July of 1990.
