Yesterday we did a all day trip to a former WW2 (Luftwaffe) and later US training site.
That place was used in WW2 for diving bombers practice with concrete and live bombs.

Meeting in the woods, taking "cover" for lunch. We had the "kids" (teenagers) with us. Kitchen Furniture The 1998 German EPa "Cevapcici" We "cooked" it too long in hot water, so the inner plastic layer loosened from the cover lid.

The food it self was still great, no sign of 17 years of age!

We started at 9:30am at freezing 32F (0°C) but got a great, sunny day.

US remains everywhere Driving from the woods into the training area to a WW2 observation shelter These are concrete bombs that were used for aiming practice. Got my first sunburn of the year over there...

What an awesome review, housil!
I think it's great that you brought some younger folks with ya, i'm sure it was fun for them to witness the amazing freshness of that EPA!

I love the vehicles, they remind me of the German equivelence to the US willys jeeps!
And absolutely beautiful terrain there, i feel like i could just lay in the grass and not worry about fire ants like here in central Florida in that 2nd to last pic.

Thx steve

You are right, we don´t have this nasty animals over here

The teenagers had *lot´s* of fun, especially we gave them the military radioswe had with us, one each so they could stray the whole area on their self's while we sat down there, having that big radio next to is with a range of 10km

Great post and I would love to explore the old post looking for relics. I see you found a 1960's HIREs Root beer can
Also you big stove looks like a good piece of equipment

Great pics housil! One of my all time favorite hobbies is hiking old cold war sites, amazing what can be found here in western Massachusetts. The food looks really good and the Bundeswehr must have some really good ways of preserving stuff because it seems like German rations have a longer shelf life than U.S. stuff.
