Hey Al. Glad someone got to enjoy Berchtesgaden. Hope we left you guys enough
drinkables. After my 3rd Bn. 7th Inf Reg. captured and cleared Berchtesgaden on the afternoon of 4 May '45 we were "requested" to leave on the morning of May 6. Naturally, our vehicles were loaded to the gills with old Goeriings booze cellar drinkables
but we couldnt carry all of them with other goodies we left with. By the morning of the 6th Berchtes was a mass of other troops. This was our final objective in WW 2. On May
5 even the 101 A.B. showed up and many authorized and unauthorized soldiers showed
up for "souvineers". I am somewhere in this pic but God only knows where.
