Met her in a German village about 60 miles from where I was stationed. There was a big party going on in the Gastehaus where I was staying. A bunch of WW2 soldier survivors, by pure coincidence got together for an impromptu party.
I spoke about 3 words of German (bier, taxi, fraulein. The woman who owned that gastehaus asked this girl to explain to me that there were to be no girls in the room. She was working in Frankfurt and had to leave for the train at 0530. I escorted her to the bus, rode the train with her to Frankfurt, rode the train, bus back to the village for the next 4 days.
I was told later by a reliable source that she had told her parents 2 days after we met that she was going to marry me. They all laughed.
Guess we got the last laugh. I spent 11 years in Germany, and was closer to her family than to my own here in the states.
