Old German Postcards (Alte Deutsche Postkarten) - #1

Both of my grandfathers served in World War II - my maternal g-pa served in the Pacific, and my paternal g-pa served in Europe. A few days ago, I got a package in the mail with a bunch of old postcards and a few pictures - with a note:

Scott,
While going through some boxes in storage I ran across these pictures. Enjoy. G-pa.

My grandparents know how fascinated I am with Germany - I've spent long moments staring at my G-pas authentic stein in their living room (long story about that...). He shipped out just as the war was wrapping up and spent most of his time taking German soldiers back to their hometowns and studying in Freising (just north of München - near the airport). Ryan and I were able to go to Freising for a night in 2006.

There are quite a few more and I'm so excited about them I just might post more in the future...

Tschüß!
