We had a bunch of them employed on our Kaserne working as dishwashers and other manual labor jobs. As an MP, on of our duties was to man the front gate to prevent access to the post from unauthorized persons. Occasionally we would search the Turks on their way out and it was like an old Three Stooges episode. They would have the inside of their coats loaded with stolen flatware, loaves of bread under their arms, and on and on. They say that the Turks are the most hated people in the world. After being around them for a few years I am not surprised.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-89184985110155041652009-11-17T20:27:31.376-08:002009-11-17T20:27:31.376-08:0045 years ago I was in Hanau.

While I never mastered German, I could get by. Good times. I also got to know the local Turks and got along well with them.Well Seasoned Foolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-1692059681798941432009-11-17T17:47:25.488-08:002009-11-17T17:47:25.488-08:00I was a Military Policeman in West Germany back in...I was a Military Policeman in West Germany back in the early 70's. I have to agree that the people were much better dressed than the GI's. I liked that the women usually wore dresses and almost always were very attractive. The problem I had was that there was a portion of the population that had not yet been "Americanized" in their hygiene. Women with hairy legs and armpits that smelled like a farmer at the end of a long hot day plowing his fields. Whewww!! But all in all, the European women were much more attractive than their American counterparts, at least in my opinion. The best I have seen in my life were from Austria. All I can say is "Wow"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
