NEW!! AMERICANS IN BAUMHOLDER – The path from occupier to friend
The new book about the history of the American presence in Baumholder
Why did all the officials turn pale when then First Lady Hillary Clinton had to go to the bathroom? Why was Baumholder once the largest construction site in the Federal Republic of Germany? And why was the small town in the Westrich also a mirror of world history time and again? The book "Americans in Baumholder" clarifies these questions. Having arrived as an occupier in 1951, a friendship between two nations developed in the small town of Baumholder more than in larger garrison towns. Also between the Bundeswehr and the U.S. military, which share the military training area. And above all, between private individuals who live the German-American friendship like nowhere else. A town with 4,300 residents and today still 8,500 Americans lives constantly between fear, hope and relief.
