O.K. you two (or us 3 ) enough already before the people here think we aint just "funning" each other and are
serious . Now here is a picture of a few of us (I am second from the left) that shows us as "real soldiers". Notice the clean uniforms, caps, even neckties. Even smiling.
Of course its about 2 months after the war in ETO ended and in front of our nice private house billets in Austria and
two months of hot food and no one shooting at us anymore. Real luxury. Beds, hot water, indoor plumbing and
bathtubs. 2 men to a bedroom with clean sheets. Talk about feeling like a civilian again and slowly getting civilized,
We are standing in front of our temporary billets and stayed here for another month after this pic. (drool you 2 guys). Then to Fulda Germany in the Bliedorn Kaserne which was also damn near as nice while waiting to go home.
I know, we were very lucky and it was probably unusual but it is fact. But now, we even looked like soldiers ready
for inspection. what a difference a couple of months make .
